winSPMBT and WinSPWW2 and VISTA

Well what do you know... a cure to my woes... I normally dont mess with in-game preferences but just on the the off-chance I turned of the sound, and to my suprise the game runs smoothly, quietly but smoothly. I can put up with the quiet :-)

There are a couple of threads on both the ww2 and mbt forum where Vista is discussed and you may find a solution there. It's interesting though that turning the sound off solved your "slugishness" problem . I do not recal anyone having a problem with any kind of "slugishness" in Windowed mode, only full screen

Yeh, its wierd because I can still play the battle FX but as soon as I turn on the sound FX everything slows down. I can play it in full screen mode with sound off but occasionly there will still be a slight slow down in response not as pronounced as when the sound is on, but still noticeable. In windowed mode with sound off it run like a dream.

DRG.. as a faithful SP guy, I would be happy to submit system specs to you guys to maybe help.

My notebook is a HP TX1320US Tablet .. AMD CPU , 4 GB RAM. Windows Vista Home premium 32-bit

game will not run windowed or otherwise.. regardless of compatibility settings, fullscreen, windowed.. nothing.

get the following..

"MBTv3
The system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application"

dunno..

at home I have a custom built that I have run XP Professional 64bit on for a year, and SPMBT on for that long as well.. recentlly brought it up to Vista Ultimate 64Bit and nogo for SPMBT

it is a E6650 Intel CPU
4GB 1066Mhz RAM
Nvidia 680i Motherboard
dual Nvidia 7900GTX 512MB video in SLI
dual Seagate 7200.10 500GB sata2 drives in RAID 0
Soundblaster X-fi audio

all other apps and games 32bit or 64 bit seem to be fine, even older legacy stuff. Havent had much 16 bit stuff to throw at it, none of the hardware changed, just the OS.

The error I get there is "Invalid 32-bit application"..

Try turning "Show introduction" off and let me know if that helps.

Robert,

I�m running both SP:WW2/MBT on 3 VISTA machines. Got some problems after installing VISTA-SP-1, however disabling the intro did the trick to get stuff running again. Look here for some details:

Disabling Intro

Maybe that helps.

cheers
