Have no idea how you do it, but did you run a new authorization code off your vista system or are you using your old code?

I got the TK installed on my vista system, the only thing I can't do with it is edit maps...

try reinstalling the TK, if that doesn't work, download it again and disable your UAC*/Run as Administrator for the installation.

*UAC = Poo.

damn sound recorder is different in vista. this will make sound editing difficult. :(

and of course the video for the ukraine campaign doesn't work. i get a CTD and error "Could not set video mode 1". i think this has to do with my video card? i have a widescreen wxga and a go 6150 288mb video card at 1280 by 800. but the intro video works fine!

I found most of Vista's included software somewhat lacking in the usefulness department...

As much as I hate to say this though, Vista really isn't _that bad_...

I have a similar situation with my laptop too. The screen resolution is something wacky like 1200x800 (3:2??? eh???) and I can't scale the image down to native resolution like I could with my old laptop.

I'll give the ukraine campaign a shot sometime, might be able to come up with a quick hack to fix it.

VISTA is a nightwmare for use on corporate networks due to how much it slows down use via its worthless security interface...

UAC = Useless and Annoying Conundrum.

It's good for unintentional stuff, but for everyday work it's a beast. The BSD, Solaris, and Linux networking stacks are vastly superior to Windows' nonsense. Especially in terms of IPv6 support.
