Re: [Audyssey] rail racer general problem
Hmm, not sure what is up with that. Some people have had trouble with running it on vista, but I haven't heard of this particular problem. One thing the vista users had to do was install direct x 9c on top of direct x 10 for the game to work, no idea why, but that fixed it for them. Let me know if you have any luck.

Re: [Audyssey] rail racer general problem
As I understand it, Dx 10 has different components that handle playing sounds and multiplayer game. You know, the brand new Microsoft rubbish. :-) At least this is what I was told. The old components aren't supported any longer for reasons that perhaps even Bill Gates doesn't know.

Re: [Audyssey] rail racer general problem
Hi Che, You might want to read my article I wrote for issue 49 or 50 in the Audyssey mag regarding accessible games and Vista. Bottom line the managed libs for DirectX 10 are incompatible with DirectX 9.0C. As a result you have to do a side-by-side install of DirectX 9.0C and DirectX 10 which Vista does allow for compatibility reasons. Also .Net framework 3.0 which ships with Vista isn't as backward compatible as 2.0 was so you also have to install .Net framework 2.0 to Vistaas well. As longa the aboveis followed in the proper order of installing .Net Framework 2 and then DirectX 9.0C in that order prier to installing RR and Montezuma's Revenge Vista users should be good to go. By he way are you still using .Net Framework 1.1? If so I highly suggest updating RR to .Net Framework 2. Montezuma's Revenge encountered the exact same issues Rail Racer did, but fortunately since I had a Vista system on hand I was able to test and discover what was needed to get Monty, Rail Racer, and other games ready for Vista. Cheers.

Re: [Audyssey] rail racer general problem
Hi Allen, Your Vista issue doesn't appear to be related to Rail Racer, but something related to confirming adman approval. You might want to arrow to the RR setup file, and press the context key which is right next to your right control key. In that menu you will see an option like install as administrator. That should allow you to install without having to mess with the admen pop up. Failing that you can go in to configure and turn off Vista's security restrictions for administrator until you finish the RR install, and can restart those services.

Re: [Audyssey] rail racer general problem
Hi, Just wanted to make a miner correction on my previous post. The option in the context menu is run as administrator, and not install as administrator. Happy gaming.

Re: [Audyssey] rail racer general problem
ah, thanks for the info. I've got all but 2 of the vista systems working, though nothing was installed in any particular order. As for using the 2.0 framework, it is too late in the development cycle to jump through those hoops, especially with the game working well on 99 percent of the systems running the demo. Anyhow, we should probably discuss this off list if you want, Im sure most of the gamers aren't into this programming tech stuff. Later, Che ___ Gamers mailing list ..
