WINSPMBT and Windows Vista
 

Has anybody tried running this on Windows Vista. I'm running Vista on my laptop and the only way I have been able to run WINSPMBT is in a small window. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Vista is not one of our supported operating systems, of course.

Anyway - is this in full-screen or windowed mode that you are running the game?. If windowed mode is it runing in GDI or DirectX windowed mode?. CD or DL version?.

Cheers

It works fine in windowed mode. Gameresolution is at 1280x1024. Haven´t tried full-screen because my notebook has a widescreen.

Hardware is a Fujitsu Siemens Notebook (Turion64 X2 TL52)
Graphic card is an ATI Radeon X1100
OS Resolution is 1280x900
OS is Vista RC1 (build 5600)

Hi. I'm running it in windowed mode and it will only come up in a very small window. I should have said that when I try to run it in fullscreen, it comes up but all the graphics are distorted and appear to be reversed.

Hi again. Finally figured out how to run it. I had to set my res to 800 X 600 BEFORE I tried to run it. It runs fine now in 800 X 600 fullscreen mode. By the way, I have the DL version and I think I'll order the CD version so I can run it in high res.

******OK, That good info to know. I'll note that down as it may help others with the same inital problem


That's always nice to hear. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I tried the game in my daughters new machine with a LCD widescreen monitor and it looked great run in Windowed mode at the highest resolution. Lot's of map to look at even zoomed in. Full screen, however, looks terrible but that's why we offered both modes
