Re: Windows 7

Removed the Nvidia drivers let Win 7 load the bult in driver. Same thing. Reloaded latest Nvidia drivers WHQL certified and all. I think this may be punkbuster related as pb didn't load when i installed BF2 I had to install COD4 before PB services were showing. any other ideas??

Re: Windows 7

Out of curiosity why the name Dr. Zyklon?... if it has anything to do with the chamber gas nazis used to exterminate prisoners I wonder why you'd chose it for a nickname.

Roucious maybe you should try using pre-Windows 7 drivers, so the 18X.XXX or 17X.XXX versions.

Pretty sinister tbh, anyways.

I would expect PB may be an issue, Win 7 is still RC so + time till this sort of issue is fixed.

That error message is generic for "you don't have code permission", Win 7 is potentially more of a Security whore than Vista.

I have noticed some stuff only installed correctly doing the following: spitting fire and shouting INSTALL DAMMIT!!! (Search CMD; R Click - Run as Admin+)

For the latest hardware Win 7 is what 98 to XP was (although VSP3:p1) - Interface is bliss.

64bit/larger memory address is the immediate future.

Re: Windows 7

On a re-install I thought you had to patch it to v1.41 first and then v1.5.

I could be wrong!!

WOW how did I miss that. This was not a Windows 7 issue but a user issue on my part.

v1.41 installed v1.5 installed... All working now.
Thanks all sorry I'm an idiot.
