BLASTED MACHINE! A bad vista issue that doesnt go away/

[Vindekarr]

As some of you may already know I really hate Vista.

 

Since I installed Vista it has been nothing less than a total pain in the neck, at best, and a total pain in the everywhere else at worst. But now I cant even run some of my favorite games. Im told I need a hotfix to solve an internal issue, but the links are dead and I cant find it.

 

right now the only victim is The Witcher, but some of my older games are now down aswell. I should clarify, I've found the hotfix, but it's for the 32 bit version of Vista and doesnt work for my X64 system. You know, the gaming system that prevents you doing any serious gaming? Anyway, I need to know if 7 is also afflicted by this sort of problem and if they ever did bother making an X64 version of this hotfix. I wont be able to play Neverwinter Nights, The Witcher, or or several other classics otherwise.

I've not tried NWN on 7 but I dare say there's something about on Biowares forum, The Witcher works fine on Win7 x64 here, better than it did on Vista.

Yeah, I've never had any problems playing The Witcher on Windows 7 x64, and nor has anyone else I know of, so it should be fine.7 is much better wrt compatibility than Vista, and even XP, were.<br><br>EDIT: Also, why does the forum keep adding the html br tag to the end of my post? Very annoying. Also, it seems to parse it when it's included in my post inentionally, even in code tags - could be a security vulnerability there?<br> Edited August 19, 2010 by The_Terminator
