Windows Vista ???

Hello,

Anyone have TGB running on a Vista box?

I'm going to start programming and testing on a new Vista OS box I just ordered.

Any pointers or issues I should be made aware of?


Thanks for your assistance.

I haven't had any trouble with it. I recommend that you don't install it under the Program Files folder. I've heard that are some issues when its installed there.

There are a few issues. You should do a search on vista and you will find them.
Here are two in a nutshell.
1) if you load the program and it doesn't do anything but sit in your tray, then change your screen rez
2) when you save a game and go to find it, you won't see them. If you do a search, it will not find them.
The way around this is to go to the saved games folder and on the bar on top of the folder, there will be a button that says something like 'compatability mode'. Click that and they will show up. I think you need to do that every time though. Not sure

Those are the only two problems that i've had
