List of Games that work on Windows Vista by smarshallhill
"Joshua" wrote: I was wondering if we could start to compile a list of Games that work on Windows Vista... As this would make it easier for many of us.. I can't get WoW to work at all. It immediately disconnects me from the log in server after I type my password and press log in. It worked perfectly under XP.

nVidia GeForce 7600GS and Vista by cbhacking
Make sure you are running (XP) games in Compatibility mode: Windows XP. Doing that improved game startup times and framerates considerably for me (though YMMV). Vista tries to use DirectX 10, which is incomapitble with DX9, so DX10 and DX9 are installed side-by-side. Using Compatibility Mode tells Vista to not even try to use DX10. "Ryan" wrote in message...

Build 5728 and WoW by Jeppe
Hmm... Otherwise this build works fine, but whenever I log into WoW this happens: logging in: works fine selecting char: works fine loading UI: I see other chars besides mine with 'unknown' name for few seconds. Then either disconnect from server or BSOD (my 1st with any build of vista :( )

Freecell & others by Peter K
Many people, including myself, have plaid certain games for 10 to 15 years & are familiar withthe 'Windows classic' look, unchanged from Win 3.1 days, if not earlier. I have noticed some improvements in the new versions of the games. But, in total, I'd prefer the 'old' versions. Could importing the old versions be offered as an option? For the next five years, or so, I'll have Win XP on at...

DirectX not detected...video card problem by smoothmove
I have tried to run several applications and games that require directx (GTA2, Worms Armageddon for example) and I keep on getting a message on either the installation or when I run the game that I need directx 6 or above. I know that Vista RC1 has directx 10 and I have tried using directx 9.0c, and I even tracked down V.6, but each time the same thing happens. This is probably related to...

EVE Online EULA mouse pointer repelled in RC1 by Thomas L. Allison
Eve worked in Beta 2. Now when i launch eve. It brings up the EULA for approval. Whenever i move the mouse over the window it is repelled and jumps away. I've uninstalled and re-installed Eve and the Alps pointer. Also tried an external mouse with same results. Everything works fine in FarCry and other DirectX games. I've updated the nVidia display driver.
