not specifically. The only trouble i've had with Nvidia drivers is downloading one that says "supported device not found" when i try to run the executible forcing me to go back to their not so well designed website and search for answers.

In general i've heard that even some of the big wigs have been playing 'catchup' in terms of providing working drivers for Microsoft's new 64bit O/S's I had for example to scrounge up a 'homemade' driver pkg for a NetGear USB wireless modem because NETGEAR had (as of that time) yet to produce an official 64bit driver for Win7 and none of the older driver pkgs worked.

Might be that this particular driver set is buggy with certain rigs under Vista64. If none of the prior solutions work and you can't roll back, i'd next start searching the internet for home-spun solutions.

Why can't people just enjoy the game?

For some the game is only an outlet to vent their agendas.

No way...surely not? [8|][:D]

Getting closer, using XP drivers I get to the Microsoft Corporation screen but it freezes before it moves on. Still, it's further than I got using the Vista drivers...

Martin, can you go to "Safe Mode" (or VGA Only 640x480) and then remove (i.e. deinstall) nVIDIA driver?

Then reboot.

Only then try to install older nVIDIA driver that works!

Thanks for all advice Nik and Leo, finally got it fixed. Despite the best efforts of Vista I managed to uninstall all the nvidia stuff, and I also tracked down my orginal driver disk. Odd that none of the drivers from the website will work, but hey-ho...

Glad you're back up and running, Dixie.  [:)]

It can be very frustrating to go in circles.  It's what I've spent my week doing at work, trying to configure a security environment.  [8|]

Hey Derrick! I'm still working on getting the machine to work right. I'll have WITP (vanilla) working next week if you are still interested in finishing our game. WITP AE is toast for now (I'm having trouble patching it ).

weekend tithe......i see the Oahu can never be invaded thread is up to 20 pages.

Sad, but predictable... Like "Castor Troy" and his whining. Maybe he should find a game that's easier for him; AE is obviously too difficult.

Why can't people just enjoy the game?

There used to be an old naval saying , "A bytching sailor is a happy sailor". Maybe there is a WITP related codicil? It is , after all , a naval game....[:D]
