Default Re: Unplayably slow on Vista?

They changed it because windows shifted to a more network structure (multi users with an admin) but no one properly used it. They loaded everything as admin or for all users. That made Windows vulnerable and made it look bad. The changes are a "user friendly" way to try and nudge people to doing their machine "the proper way".

Of course, beyond user friendly becomes user obnoxious. Instead of a recommendation you get "BACK OFF! You dont have a clue so just let me do it!"

Default Runs great on Vista!

If someone is interested this game runs great on Windows Vista Ultimate. Not only that but when I upgraded to Vista I formated only my main HDD, and Dominions3 was installed on a second one. I tough that I will install D3 over the old one and this will keep my games, maps, etc. But the result was even better, when I run the exe it worked without install!
