Question About Windower And Vista

[hexagram23]

I recently bought a computer with Windows Vista. For whatever reason, after I installed Windower 3.4 and tried to access the game using it, nothing happened. It doesn't do anything at all. Any idea why this is?

There could be a thousand different reasons. You're much better off using the official Windower forums and wiki for a question like this.

You have to run the program as an administrator . You can do this by right clicking on launcher and go to properties then click on compatibility tab and mark on the administrator.

I was going to do that but there is literally a million people all asking different questions there and 90% never even get read, much less answered. I came here hoping someone had a similar problem.

Thanks for the info. I read that on another board and tried it. Windower was working fine for about 10 minutes, but one of the times I hit ATL-TAB to go to a different window it crashed my computer....black screen and everything. I had to unplug my computer to turn it off.

Tried it again about 5 minutes later, and this time as soon as I hit ALT-TAB the first time it crashed my computer again.

Any idea what's causing this guys?

Even if you didn't want to use the Windower forums, there's an entire forum on BG devoted to Technical issues/advice.

Technical Support Questions.

just because you want to get your question answered quickly it still doesnt make it right to ask it in the wrong section

moved to tech.

I use windows vista, you might want to check and make sure you have SP1 installed. Other than that...mine works fine...you can't use Vista Flip unless you're outside of the window, but alt-tab shouldn't crash...idk \&_&/
