HD2 - Cannot run on Vista

Unread post by radio53 » Fri Dec 12, 2008 8:30 pm

Hi everyone,
Like a member who posted a while ago I have been un-able to run HD2 on Vista Home Premium. Can anyone help me out? The former postings did not have any answers. Please help me as I am in a state of cold turkey.....help01

I managed to solve the problem. If anyone else has the same problem with Vista then you need to start your Compatability Wizard and locate the HD2 programme. Then you tell it to run it as if you were using XP. Works fine now but make sure you "save" it on the wizard so that each time you play the game you don't have to go through the process again.
regards :)

You can get to the compatibility wizard by clicking start > help and support then search for "Program Compatibility Wizard". It will only find one result.
