vin2007 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Last year i gave my pc away to make way for a new quad core machine running vista 32bit and my battlefront version of TOW has been on a memory stick. After reading with great excitment for months that a patch will add a RBG and much more i decided to put the memory stick in and transfer TOW to my vista machine but after double clicking TOW setup the whole thing just hangs and i have to use alt ctrl del to get out of it. I cant believe that this wont work and with the patch iminent i am truly gutted, i have looked at the forums and read vista issues and wish i had never bought this stupid OS i have had nothing but problems with it. Looks like bye bye TOW as i refuse to pay for windows xp, Hello Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin2007 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 WoW after leaving the setup going for 20 mins it worked but now i have another problem. When i start TOW using the TOW icon in the directory i get the menu screen asking to create profile but when i enter name nothing happens and if i do it 3 or 4 times it goes back to desktop yet if i select TOW 1.4 in directory it lets me create a profile. Whats the difference between TOW and TOW 1.4 im confused ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHappy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 TOW 1.4 executable was the original executable prior to the patch. When the game was patched, certain multi-core enhancements were included which were supposed to make the game more compatible with newer processor types. So Tow 1.4 gives you the added patch features minus the multi-core enhancements which seem to not work properly on some setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin2007 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 So im still upto date then using TOW 1.4 ? I have even tried using one core but still the TOW icon wont let me create a profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 In Vista always run the game with Run as Administrator command in context menu (right-click exe file). Setup was going for 20mins probably because you've run it directly from the Flash. TOW 1.4 is newer exe version than just TOW.exe, in which ATI compatibility was enhanced.

Glennovich Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 vin2007 I made a dualboot system (xp pro en vista ultimate), so I can choose between these 2 OS. For TOW I run, ofcourse, XP Pro. Everything runs smoot! http://apcmag.com/5023/dual_booting_xp_with_vista Good luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
