Guild Wars by Robert Schoultz
Hello. I'm trying Guild Wars with build 5600 at the moment and I'm using ATI's latest Vista drivers for my Asus ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition card. The game works just fine and I was really impressed by the nice fps performance compared to my old OS! However, I have some problems as well. The game locks up the system completely after 20-30 minutes of playing. Have you tried a later...

EVERQUEST 1 by Technomyke
I have tryed EQ1 (everquest) in vista on a various platforms. Gerneral issues have been EQ complaining about missing DX9.0c. However, its not really looking for DX9c itself but checking for a file (it mentions that file when it cant find it). If you simply grab that file from a XP install and place it in the EQ folder it will launch fine. the other issue it has is lack of sound. My searches...

Interfering once opening a game by Nick
I keep getting "some visual item cant be shown or displayed" Items like that when I am all ready in the game like Call of Duty , the first one. Windows should stop doing things like checking for errors and displaying them until I shut off the game not flicker through the screen during the game. Cant seem to shut it off

Star Wars Battlefront II by dvm258
Has anyone gotten this game to work in Vista with an ATI Radeon Card? It worked perfectly in Windows XP. It worked in Beta 2, but without sound. Now in RC1, I get sound, but the bottom half of the screen is missing. I found out how to fix it, but the option I need to adjust isn't in the Vista ATI Catalyst Center.

Graphical corruption in fullscreen games by Druidika
I am using the most recent Vista 32bit drivers available from nvidia.com for my 7800GT.

Unfortunately I can't seem to...

I am having a problems with installed programs having complete access in Vista. For example, I have installed the ATI Catalyst Drivers for Vista, as well as the Vista drivers for Creative soundcards. This is my problem; several functions in the software are not allowed permission to run, either because of Vista directly, or because of Microsoft Defender? In the Defender Software Explorer...
