ET vista problem

by aeq • 10 Dec 2007, 23:14 • Journals
K, so here is the thing. Some days ago I tried to start up ET again on my new laptop. It worked initially when i opened through administrator ( thx kitty ) but now ET hangs the second I open it. Anyone have/had the same and knows the answer? Lemme know plz.

Only prob I have is that when I exec and vid_restart my configs pb kicks me out after couple of seconds, reason is corrupted windows or something, that normal thing when your using vista. Do you know any solution of this slight prob ?

thx

i dont have any clue about vista sorry, can only suggest you to put XP back... I'm not interested in Vista yet and I'm not sure that i ll ever put it on my pc

let it work in "xp environment "or smth? Right click on ET shortcut and there should be a menu with this option.. But I don't have vista so I'm not sure.

load ET in ETmain, so without the FS_startup cmd line, then choose ETpro @ mods. (worked for me in the past, had the same "hang" prob)

I have it as well, my ET on my laptops only works on no-pb servers. So demos and ETTV is okay, but the rest doesn't work. ET freezes the second that intro clip starts.

My solution? Play on your old comp.
