Re: Vista 64 game flames

Did you try installing the games in safe-mode or running them in a different compatibility mode?

Re: Vista 64 game flames

Re: Vista 64 game flames

Will they not install, are you getting driver errors, are they crashing, what is it doing?

Re: Vista 64 game flames

Nascar fails to run after splash screen

Arma runs but its a black screen of death

Re: Vista 64 game flames

Hmm...

This is what you can do and enjoy everything...

You will need xp32 for best gaming performance right now, though another vista32 will prolly work too.

If you have two HD's, it makes it a lot easier.

Anyways, simply install your 2nd OS on a patritioned HD or your second HD. When you boot up, you get to choose what OS to boot up in. This will allow you to use vista64 for w/e the hell you need it for and then revert back to a 32bit system to play all your favourite old skool games :)

Note that a reboot will be required to switch between OS. Also, you may have to format if you only have one HD so you can patrition it into two (thinks its two but its one HD).

Re: Vista 64 game flames

I wonder if i can buy a 3rd drive and install my vista 32 bit cd on it.( i have installed 64 cd of that licence) like you said.

my second drive at the moment is for storage and i have 4 sata slots and 4 HD cradles in case.

would that work?and what about internet connection on both?

will vista allow two installs?( i got full premium)both 64 and 32 cd`s

though another vista32.

do you mean a differnet licenced one?eg..two copies?
