Hi, I registered specifically to add something to this bcdedit.exe suggestion.
In my case, when I rebooted my laptop (a Dell Inspiron 1720 running Vista Home Premium as the OS), it caused a big headache. Vista failed to boot. It would show the Dell logo, then flash with a blue screen (BSOD) for a moment, then reboot and load into a System Diagnostic tool. It would run diagnostics and disk scans and ultimately conclude that it could not find the problem, or that it was caused by unspecified system changes.
System restore did not help. (I had set a restore point immediately before making the bcdedit.exe change above).
The disk scan can be cancelled, which will allow you to proceed to some additional system diagnostic tools - including a command prompt.
SO, what to do?
First, I tried un-doing the bcdedit.exe command.
In the command prompt, I entered the following:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOn
Then I rebooted the laptop. Still not fixed... the blue screen continued.
Further research revealed the following suggestion:
bcdedit.exe /set {default} nx AlwaysOn
Then I rebooted the laptop, and it loaded into Windows Vista as normal. As if it were all but a dream...!
Dell?
Inspiron?
Ultimate BSOD maker. I had a 1525 once. It decided that he would destroy windows... just like that. Called Dell... ¬_¬
Anyway, u understand.
Try an other computer or in compatibility mode.
Hello, I am having a really strange problem, running the game on Vista.
Well, I've tried running the game emulated for WinXP SP2, as admin, and I can run the game.
But;
Every onscreen moving object is very fluid, ships moving around, etc.
But every time I try to move the camera (change the focus, zoom, pan, rotate, etc.) the game gets more laggy than hell, with less than 1 FPS.
I have a nvidia 9800 GTX with the most recent drivers installed (185.85) also running RivaTuner (dont know if that causes a problem) Pretty solid gamer rig, Core 2 Duo @ 3.22 ghz, 780i SLI mobo, 4GB RAM, etc.
I really feel like the game is sitting in front of my rig, what looks to him like a Demi-God and he's just too bedazzled to use any of the resources properly.
Any help ?! Please ! The game doesn't crash, but it's not playable anyways !
Sorry, I have no idea.
Turn on (or off, Idon't remember) the VSync in the video configuration inside the game.
