Hey guys. I wasn't sure where to post this, so I figured screw it, I'd post it here! lol Anyway, as you read in the title, my PC version of this game won't work on my laptop. I'm wondering if there's something specific I have to download? It's a Windows Vista laptop with a 1280x800 resolution. Could that have anything to do with it? Any answers to this question would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Computing and technology is probably your best bet babes, Il move this over there for you
Doesnt it only work on something really gay and old like windows 95 or 98 or something archaic anyway?

Thanks love, I was well out of it yesterday with as sick as I've been. But no, not actually. My hubby has a Windows XP computer and it works on his just fine. *ponders* So perhaps it just doesn't want to work properly on Vista? I dunno. D= I thought maybe there might be something out there you can download to make it work properly, like a patch or something...
Yeah that kinda is the problem, the PC version isnt supported by Vista, it was initially made for i think Windows 98-XP. But im pretty sure you can download a program (not sure what it is) that will allow you to play it with Vista. Cause i doubt you would wanna downgrade to XP
I'm not sure if Vista does this because i'm not too familiar with it, but you could possibly try and run it in compatibility mode with XP.
I did hear talk about there being a fair few patches here and there for the PC version, but if it worked on Dave's PC then it's probably showing that Vista isn't compatible with it, funny thing about Vista, it's hardly compatible with anything. >_>
So i'm not sure what to suggest really, ah, and I also heard about (considering you're using a laptop) there is a patch needed for it to be compatible with the laptop key configuration.
Sounds like it's incompatible with Vista to me though, Vistafail. D:
But after reading this article on gamespot it doesn't sound highly likely it'll work to me. =/
