winSPMBT and WinSPWW2 and VISTA

[cusbut]

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.

Have you turned on compatibility option for the game?
Does the file appear from within the game?

You're getting that message becasue I'm betting you're both using different versions of the game. It's got nothing to do with what operating system you both have. When you re-installed you may have missed a patch

Did you start a new game AFTER re-installing ??? Or did you just put the turn into the new location you moved the game to ?? You cannot do that if you did as the security is put in place to prevent that. You'll need to start the game all over right from the beginning using your new game location

In case you become intreasted in at some point guy just installed on Vista
In full mode map & unit pallette is quite good, the odd bits of building (grey) is off & smoke is technicolour think mainly whites some greys effected. Think small section of greys become purple. Whole display very slightly lighter like washed out. All other screens like info main game garbled greys again but dotted with mainly orange, you get the same effect if you make a screen shot in full mode using a screen capture utility on XP. Doing the same in windowed mode on XP is fine.
In windowed mode on Vista display is fine but if you click on a unit first screen is fine, 2nd info screen (pressed continue) shows a very slight shimer like its cycling the pallette. Bottom 2/3rds has waves heading up the info window & disapering, just very slightly lighter shades of grey again.
Not virus checker related from what I can tell as that was mentioned did not uninstall but disabled causing no diffrence, Kapersky as well not Avast.

I'm running Vista and WinSPMBT runs OK, not as well as it did on XP tho.
There is a slight hesitation whenever I hit a key or mouse button but I've just gotten use to giving the game a half-second to process my input before I hit the next key.

I assume ( yeah, yeah.....) you've tried all the tricks mentioned to eliminate this ? ( run from c:/ not from program files, set compatibility of the game EXE ..not the game options exe ! to XP or W98 etc etc )

??

Are you running windows or full screen ??
