Microsoft Vista Issues

Does anybody know if Live 07 works ok on Vista?
I searched the forums and did not find this.
Sorry if this has been discussed.

Thanks.

Live 07 works with vista, but if you install the BETA ATI (dont know about nvidia) drivers then you will have issues with textures.

One downfall to vista is that FSHx does not work with it. However Dolphin EAgraph and the EBO editor does work.

doesnt vista have a compatibility tab? so that you'll launch the FHx using compatibility in xp?

tried it with XP, 2000, 98, 95, nothing worked

So if I want to go to Vista does it run ok without installing the Beta ATI drivers?

tried it with XP, 2000, 98, 95, nothing worked

Damn, i dont like vista anyway

yah the game ran fine for me without the beta driver.

gotta remember mnem there are other fsh tools out there besides FSHx

Im gonna be getting a new notebook and its gonna have Vista already in there (not too happy about that) and I don't know whats with the Beta ATI drivers? Can someone explain to me whats going one with Vista, and the drivers and Live 07? Thanks

getting that laptop at staples? haha

well the beta ati drivers are just that, a beta. I messed around with it about 2 weeks ago and they might have released a real version by now.

Live 07 WILL run on vista. So you should have no issue.

Hi guys, my Live 2007 was running great on XP, since i got Vista, it is very slow now, the game runs kind of choppy and slowed down, not the smooth version it used to be, and I was wondering if anyone knows what could be causing it and what I can do? thank you very much!

here is a post from planet battlefield. I noticed after going from XP to Vista that BF2 wouldnt start up.

I go through the EA Games video, through the Intro Video get past the "Welcome to Duty" then crash to desktop. So it crashes where you would normall log in.

I know BF2 runs on this machine's hardware (I played it when I had XP installed) so Im curious what I can do to get Vista to let me play this. I have tried changing the compatibility to XP and enabling "Administrator Mode"

Vista Business (x86)
AMD 64 Processor 3000+ 1.81GHz
512 RAM
ATI x800GT 256mb

Thanks for any help

simple one, you don`t have enough ram in that machine to run vista and bf2. vista takes alot more resources to run than xp
vista min specs are

* CPU: Intel x86-compatible 32-bit or AMD64-compatible 64-bit microprocessor(s)

* Motherboard: ACPI compatible firmware is required.

* Memory: At least 256 megabytes for 32-bit systems, probably more for 64-bit systems

* Graphics Card: A DirectX 9–compatible GPU that is capable of supporting Windows Vista Display Driver Model (WVDDM) and has 64 megabytes of VRAM

* Hard Drive space: At least 1.5 gigabytes for installation files, possibly more, depending on the version of Windows

and you have only 512, that only leaves 256 for running all your other apps.
get another gig of ram, that will cure it

So basically man, you need more ram.

oh man that sucks, so i cant play anymore and will lose all the updates i was doing. What if the game in run compatibility mode with XP would that solve anyhting?

i believe not. revert back to xp until you bought an additional ram

or just turn settings down

thanks guys, i guess i will get more ram later. dont feel like playing with low settings, but mine were not all the way up anyways.

ive just got my vista and im playing dynasty. ive read the threads but nothing works. game crashes every time a game ends or i quit after 2 min have passed. when i did a test run 2 min quarters, game was fine with ending. when i try to play a full game, itll crash to desktop and ask if i wanna close program or find solution then close (which doesn't give me solutions btw). this is freaking ridiculous. I never had any problems with my old laptop and now with a better laptop, i cant play dynasty. i've changed compatibility, i'm not using any sorts of rosters, ive used the official EA patch for when there were no subs.

anyone got anything new that can be tried? any other vista users have this problem?

Instead of making a new thread for that, I guess I can ask here:
Vista's official list of supported programs and games doesn't feature NBA Live 07. Does anyone else besides Killumaniti manage to play Live with Vista?
I already ordered mine and I'm upgrading my entire PC, so I just don't wanna have a bad surprise at the end, not even being able to play it...

game works for me but i never play anymore, very choppy, slow framerate, was running much better on XP! the menu is displaced too.

i guess its better to wait till 2Q of the year before upgrading my rig and jumping on vista. and dx10 vid card is still not that stable.

yes i have had the prob after playin a full dynasty game it does exactly the same..hav u found anything out?

I'm having the same problem with the game crashing at the end of every dynasty game when I click "quit time".

Really sucks.

Nothing...

Are those of you wh oare having crash problems using a notebook by any chance? If I could find it again I'll post it, but I read some post from someone before from EA's forums that alot of the notebook's cards are not supported or something like that.

As of now, I've just given up...waiting for 08.

I'm using a desktop with an ATI Radeon 9800 pro.

It didn't happen to me for some games but now it happens every game.
I think it's because of vista but allso because I didn't wait when it happend.should i wait few minutes and then end the game or not?
Thank you.

If its gonna happen it'll happen as soon as you play more than 2 minutes of the game
