No 3D Acceleration in Windows Vista Beta 2 by Brock
Tried Jason ! No luck and ready to give up! I think i've tried every solution... "BahamutZaero" wrote: The problem is that things that are Shader related (presumably Aero) work fine. So everything in the OS looks gorgeous, and runs like it should.

windows\temp by ickejay2k
I'm trying to install a game 'Seven Games of the Soul' and when the setup file is run, i get an error message stating that it is unable to copy files to c:\windows\temp\. I've tried altering the folder permissions but nothing seems to have worked. Any ideas. I've even tried compatability mode and running as an adminastrator. Thanks

Very slow install by Ian P
I have found a lot of my games from pre vista take an extremely long time to install. BF2 for instance took nearly 25 mins to completely install. This is on a Dell dimension xps Gen 4. 3.60 Ghz processor, 2 GiG of Ram, and a 260 gig HDD. Has anyone had similar experiences with this problem?

XP games to Vista by need mxsml 4.0 sp1 download
others say quake iv works fine yes it runs after instlaling v 1.3 but even after going in and setting to smp mode (I have a pentium d 915) it still takes about 10 minutes to start up.. that is unacceptable.. same graphics card as under xp (6600gt) with nvidia latest 9965 vista drivers.. starts up in under a minute 10 minutes is too long to make it playable..

Quake 4 by Jim
I can't get Quake 4 to work with any Vista build. When it errors out, Microsoft claims that Activision has a patch. I go to Activision, id Software and the Quake 4 site. But no stinking patch. Anyone have any ideas? Jim

Far Cry & F.E.A.R works! :-) by Manneman
Well... I have read this forum since I started to test Vista. I now have RC 2 5744 from a clean install and I´m very happy with it. Though I have some issues with some of my newest games, like Ghost Recon AW, I´m happy to tell you all that I got both F.E.A.R and Far Cry to work...

Crashing Games by Lloyd
I have installed two games which won't seem to work on my computer anymore. They work the first time i play them, and then once i try to double click back in or open the file, it says the game has stopped working and windows is trying to find a solution.
