<t> I'm creating this thread as my way of saying "thank you." I'm going off the internet in a few days' time, and wanted to let you know that getting this game means a lot to me. EF II is my all-time favorite computer game, and when TalonSoft went kaput and Microshaft did its usual, self-serving ...

<t> I stand corrected--I hit all the F buttons--beginning, unsurprisingly, with 1--and went through them all...I found that indeed all produce the same dialogue indicating the old version of Windows Help was not supported in Vista, but the F2 button does work when I hold it down a bit longer. <br ...

<t> I'm running Vista (as some of you know from my previous inquiries here) and I'm playing EF.&nbsp; When I use any of the F buttons (e.g., F2 for Unit Handbook info), I get a dialogue that says this won't work because it's Windows Help from an earlier version.&nbsp; <br/>

This news to you ...

<t> Okay, I got Winzip and unzipped. I was kind of expecting that when I clicked on the JT Campaign shortcut, it would show somewhere either a more current time or display the upgraded version of the game...but I don't see that anywhere. Maybe that only displays when you actually run the game and ...

<t> Thanks for the reply. Since last posting, I did download the v1.02 update. I notice it is a zip file--does this mean I need to download a zip utility to open it? More importantly (and this harks back to my experience with Talonsoft), is it crucial as to what location (directory) I open it in ...

<t> Progress report: I have the game, installed it, and have clicked the "disable desktop composition" box in the shortcut. I haven't tried to run the game yet, as I realize there's a patch I need to download. I went to the Start menu, saw the line for "Check for Updates" and plugged in for the ...

<t> Okay...so it's if I right click on the *game shortcut* on mydesktop, choose the disable etc...then it should work okay, right? Just to review: I *also* would need to download the patch after buying the game in the box, yes? I noticed that Vista was *not* one of the OS versions listed in the ...

<t> I appreciate hearing from you! Bear with me--I'm not a "computer guy"--just an avid EF II gamer. I don't know what a desktop composition shortcut to launch the exe is or refers to...is this a Windows thing, a game thing, or...?<br/>

Sorry to be so lame about this, but if you can just ...

<t> I read about the patch, but I'm not clear as of the present moment whether it fixes all Vista problems. Also...if it does, is this patch incorporated into some other version of Tiller's campaign? I've had the experience that sometimes waiting a bit brings a version of the game along that already ...
