vista and ET

ello!

i've been trying to install and play ET on my laptop the past 45 minutes but unfortunately to no avail ( 8-) )

anyway, i get either "wrong o/s privileges" (or smth) or "game integrity 20006" (or smth).

I've been searching around google and this site. I came across http://www.xfire.be/?x=tutorial&mode=item&id=14 which will probably be the solution to my problem but i cant find the "to run older programms under windows vista" option... if i go to my control panel all i can choose from is either programs and features or default programs. both the screens that pop up under those do not show any such option as mentioned above.

Untill now i've tried to go to my ET.exe properties and changed run this blabla for windows server 2003 SP1 and run this program as admin. also, i gave every user full control.

Does anyone have any suggestions. Perhaps someone can tell me how to find the "run older programms under windows vista" thing? :(

thanks in advance

format c
Properties of ET.exe , Comptability

Comptability Modus - Windows XP Prof SP2

Also make sure you update PB with pbsetup

www.punkbuster.com
for some reason pbweb wouldnt update (vista problem? :x). i asked perfo to send me his pb folder... so basically pb update cant be the problem.
Parent
I said , use Pbsetup ...

pbweb most likely wont work in vista

Trust me , use pbsetup

Someone I know also had to update pb , it didnt work with pbweb , so someone send him his pbfolder and he still got kicked

heb gwn dit gedownload http://www.kashu.fr/etui/ en toen dat aan geklikt..
Works with compatibility mode set to "windows server 2k3" - i've heard it gives you best PERFOrmance @ vista

+giving et admin rights make my side DA buttons fail to work

however, vid_restart makes the game crash :DDD
Try completely disabling UAC

Also I dont seem to have this vid_restart problem

(nvidia drivers bug with vista and ET ?)

PS: I dont have a Server 2k3 option?
Parent
uac stands for ? (noobie i am, master yoda)

got quite a new drivers, all versions had the same problem....


and about PS:

UAC = User Account Control

Disabling it ,wont give you these pop-ups every time you start something up
Parent
where is this UAC? :<
Parent
Start - (Username)

Then there is a line with User Account Control

Click on it , uncheck Enable User Account Control

Press ok , then a pop-up will come up if you want to reboot , close all your programs and then pres yes
Parent
Fucking stupid to turn it off.
Parent
Brains > UAC
Parent
That's also true, but UAC isn't all bad as people like to see it. In linux it is everyday usage that you have to login as root seperately.
Parent
I know , but I noticed sometimes programs start up slower (bug?) when UAC is enabled
