Well someone told me that ET wouldn't work with win 7 (and new processors i7?)
I tried and I made it running great
THE TRICK
When you are gonna installl, go on the wolfet.exe click on it with right mouse btn
Compatibility -> windows xp sp 3 -> check exec as administrator
Install and do the same with the patch -> windows xp sp3 -> simply exec as administrator
once you are done go to c:\programs(x86)\WolfensteinET\ And change your executables (ET, ETED) with the 2.60b
Now click on ET and do the same trick you did for installation.Compatibility win xp sp3 -> execute as administrator
Same for ETED
Don't forget to check the boc "exec as administrator"
Use pbsetup to install pb updates. Give it the right path c:\Programs (x86)\ W:Et enemy territory\
and you are almost ready.
Now if you have nvidia, go to your graphic card settings and enable the "optimization thread".
I had a problem with the resolution. My monitor is 1280x1024
Whatever is your windows resolution, to get the full screen mode, you have to set on et your windows' resolution.
Have fun :)

I changed it too and now i am with an i7 and win7
I tried to install et my way and it worked out
sincerely i dont know if it's the i7 or win 7 or both to cause problems...
The point is that with that trick, et works and runs fine on win 7 (with i7)
After the first /vid_restart it might seem retarded (windowed, or weird fullscreen with black borders and a small game window in the bottom left corner or such), but as soon as you restart the whole game it works, providing that you have set the resolution to the one you want to in your autoexec.
Also, I don't need to run this game as adminstrator or in compability mode, running Win7 and AMD Phenom II processor.
Actively, I havent any ET installed....
My ET isnt on C: partition and ET dont use any registry..
You just need to copy et files into desired folder, re-setup PB... and that is all.
The confg files can be replaced as you want, ET uses that files to start the game in the new configuration.
More important than the subject of this topic is to make ET to run on CPU 1 instead of CPU 0, and... if CPU supports try to set high priority.
