Ok, i've tried about every trick there is to try from giving total permission to the EXE to allowing it to change collors, definition... the works!

i'm simply forbidden by some mega vista rule not to play the best game there is on my laptop!!! :(

good thing my good old pc still has good'ol xp...otherwise i'd be wormless...

too bad i'm not mobile worming... :P

I never intend to get Vista, it's Win2K and WinXP only (maybe 98 too, to play older games too). :cool:

My experience is that Vista is just generally and indiscriminately anti-users. I have no idea what it's for.

Possibly it's designed for business.

Well well, its not because Vista in any way is discriminating against users. Its because of the user who is behind it. Yes I hated it at first but sitting with for over a year I am beginning to see benefits... Well back to the issue, if you aswell as in XP right click the mouse on the icon WWP then you go to properties and Combatibility option and choose win 98 as the recommended setting is for WWP. And voila color correction :-D well next big issue is when you want to play it crashes and that sucks. And i haven't figured that out yet. But i will share it as soon as i found out how... :cool:

It really isn't.

I want to seem benefits immediately, not after a year.

Possibly it's designed for business.

I'm guessing Vista Home is designed for the home user.

My mom has a laptop vista.... I hate it! However, I didn't have any problem with getting W4 to work on it. I can go and play it right now on my mom's laptop without a problem.:)

But trust me..... don't count on a vista!

Honestly, at some point you just have to break with some backwards compatibility to further the OS itself. That's why God made virtualization. Yes, some things will be lost in the transition. If they matter that much, keep a working machine running older OS software.

If only God worked for Microsoft, their legacy emulation systems might even work.
