WinSPWW2 won't work in Vista

[phil74501]

I just bought a new computer. It has Vista on it. I can't get WinSPMBT or WinSPWW2 to run on it. I have downloaded all of the patches. It will start and run the splash screen that says WinSPWW2, but I don't get the game menu. Any ideas?

QUICK TIPS FOR VISTA USERS

-Install winSPMBT in a separate Games folder, NOT in the Program Files if you're on 64 bit Vista . However you WILL need to remember this when installing patches such as this. If you are using Vista 32 it is OK to use the default, Program Files folder.

-Disable the intro. It the first line on the GameOptions screen.

- After installing the game right click on your WinSPMBT Icon and go to the Compatability tab & select Disable desktop composition.

.....and if you are using a wide screen monitor you *may* need to run windowed mode but try both and see

Got it. "Disable the intro. It the first line on the GameOptions screen" was the trick. Thanks
