i have bought a new pc with home premium on it and now decided to install fa on it. it was a disaster at first but i eventually copy pasted fa from my xp pc to the vista. it runs ok except for some parts it fails to show videos in ukraine campaign. anyway now i wanna install fatk and i cant. when i run fatk and enter my auth number i get "error = 58" and i get can't open "c:\windows\fatk.ini" and finally path/file access error and a crash to desktop. can anyone please help me? how do i install FATK on vista?

my system:
amd turion x2 mobile
nvidia go 6150 288mb video card
1gb of memory
120gb sata hard drive
vista home premium

Fighters Anthology 1.02

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.
