Problem with OW on vista

ParamiteSurprise · #1 12-27-2007, 09:19 AM

I just used AE on vista, and it runs, not if full screen, but centre screen, and the outline is black... can someone help here?

NOTE: I'm Using A laptop with Vista ultimate

It'd be greatly appreciated.

The outline? Explain more/ screen shot?

Are you using an LCD or CRT monitor?

Vista is a crap system, there is to many errors.

And... that helped ParamiteSurprise how?

In any case, I firmly believe that 90% of computer errors can be solved by upgrading the user.

Please, post a screen: I used AE on Vista too and I didn't get any error. Perhaps I can help you.

If I understand him correctly, there was no error. It's just that Vista only displayed the game at the 640X480 resolution, rather than enlarging it to fill the monitor, thus causing a wide black outline around the gamescreen. I'm sure there must be some settings in the shortcut properties to change that.

Ah, thanks nate, it was because it was running on 64 bit

Paul · #9 12-30-2007, 03:15 PM

Why would that even make any diffrence when the game is 32-bit? (that means it HAS to run in 32bit mode )
Actually if you have a 64bit OS I don't think 32bit exe's even run?

***Nate*** · #10 12-30-2007, 03:42 PM

Yes, 32 bit programs still run as the 64 bit machine codes are backwards compatible.
