Well I'm going to have to leave again.

I got a new pc and its Vista so I cant play anymore.

Hope they fix that if they do let me know I would be more then happy to

[brainbasher]

Should have kept the old one

[LOVWYRM]

so sad We did not even meet

We bought a new PC too. The intention was, that husband Flameus and me could play together. It does not work Vista

Lucky me- I can play with my old one (uhmm PC I mean^^). And I will not share rare online-time with him. He and a friend are still trying to get HZ goin`with Vista.
If I knew how to- I would atomize it ^^

All the best to you, Balthizar- Still hoping to see you some day

Why not install XP and Vista on 1 PC ? ;-)
XP for Horizons and Vista for other things ^^

In all honesty, there comes a time when a professional product needs to be compatible with the current operating system; and that time has passed, Vista has been released for more than long enough.

[C`gan]

AA0, there are times when the current OS should be scrapped entirely. As my housemate found out, Vista is not even compatible with it's OWN updates on Microsoft's site.

Here's the story: A friend got a Vista laptop. It was fluky from the start just with the base OS. Took it to Window's update site, ran the update, none found. Still ran fluky. Did a reformat and reinstall. No luck. Back to update, all updates are currently installed. Checked the site for video and sound drivers. Both listed newer drivers than what was currently on the laptop. Tried downloading from their sites. Wouldn't install. Checked windows site on an XP computer, new drivers were listed for putting in Vista. Put laptop back to update. No updates.

In the end, we just RMA'd the laptop.

Ummmm Vista does not use the website to update. It has it's own internal updater. If you some how forced it to use the website that was your first mistake.

I've found that most of the Mmorpg's i play have all had to have numerous downloads to get them to work with Vista.
A major problem is Vista uses Dx 10 but the OS was so secret while being done that most developers now have to backwards write Vista to make them compatible.
As a dis-gruntled microsoft employee said "Do you honestly think microsoft care wether their OS works or not?"

Just takes time, and yes you can play Horizons using Vista, somebody wil write down how they did it soon.
