My point is that Vista is not allowing RFSA4 to work, and I was asking what to do (and named the topic this because of all the questions and problems I've had with Vista, not so ppl could rant about Vista and not answer my question; which btw, has not yet been answered. Frank said to reinstall the app. which i did 4 times, as I said in a previous post, and still, no one has been able to help me.) Halsfire, thanks for saying what you did, I was going to say the same thing, but more angry, lol. Plz help me, ANYONE!!!!

I dont think that RFSA will ever work on Vista, Vista just has so many flaws and is missing so much essential stuff to run older apps that i dont think itll run most standalone small apps... |

| Quoting Garner | MS does not do in house testing. Right. Please... do tell what you have been smoking. Of course they do their own in house testing! Ye gods... you think they got it even slightly right first time?? No programmer does!
Do you have access to every single motherboard, graphics card, sound card, network card, mouse, keyboard, screen, physics card, tv card (the list goes on) out there? In every single combination of the above? No. Nor does MS. The Beta program before launch was designed to get the new OS out to as many as possible to test on as much different hardware setups as possible. You deride them for it... I say good on them. Imagine what it would have been like if they didn't!
Secondly... I've yet to hear of any company sueing MS for buying Vista. I know most of the big ones haven't even bothered to start - stating they're waiting for Service Pack 1 before they do. Those that have made the plunge on their own - MS isn't forcing anyone to buy Vista!
Vista is a different OS to XP. There are always issues with going from one Windows OS to another, Win98 to Win2k was a major upgrade that broke way more than XP to Vista is breaking. Things have to change, move on, get better... you cant keep supporting stuff thats old and possibly insecure.
You really need to get your facts straight... you seem to think OS X was built from the ground up. Let me point you in the right direction. Mac OS X is Unix.... 
There are a couple of other points I could finger and laugh at... (I'm going to assume you think Vista is the first OS to have a nice transparent window interface for a start, MS not use anything from anyone else? pfff... LOL) but I'll save that for someone else 
I'd like to point out I use XP at home. Vista at work.
Vista is rock solid, stable and hasn't crashed once since installing it. It runs my games (at work hehe  [lunch times only honest!]), runs all my development tools and utils, winamp, trillian, skype... everything I use at home I use there. No trouble at all. Dont believe everything you hear about Vista not working at all... because thats just the media blowing things out of proportion as usual. |
you want facts you got them.

| Quoting giggles1 | Ok, I want to run my dedicated server ({RFA} WiErD Dedicated CTF)) on my laptop, and it has Windows Vista. Everytime I want to LAUNCH RFSA4, it gives me the error : "Runtime error "53"" And then closes. I thought maybe it was the VBRun files, but I installed those and still got the same error. Any suggests?
Best Regards,
{RFA} KILLER [L] |
How WiErD to run a server on laptop anyway ? However , U need clean original
RF disc's . Make sure u install RF_Serverassist-4.10 , DIRECTLY in the folder where
u installed RF. If u get again failur, please copy and paste Error_Logfiles, RF and Vista
here. ( if allowed to post logs that is ) .

Weird? I run my server on a laptop, granted the laptop has had the LCD broken off, but it's still a laptop. |

Interesting articles DARTH JOKER. I only read a few pages to find out what the law suits were about. From what I can see...EVERYBODY wants Bill Gates money.
But I can see why other companies and some consumers are upset. I would hate to buy a PC that claimed it was Vista ready when it wasn't. Then again, unless it's a gift, I wouldn't buy a brand name PC. I would rather build it myself. I won't build or build another PC until this one dies on me. |
