BHD and Vista?
 

I scoured the FAQ's and didn't find anything on this (probably because BHD is so old, and Vista is, well, Vista).

I've been putting off buying a new computer forever because I don't want any part of Vista and its problems. BHD (and the TS add-on) is still one of my favorite games and I'm afraid if I get a new computer with Vista, we'll be screwed here. It's getting harder and harder to buy new machines without Vista.

Has anyone had any experience with running BHD on a Vista machine? :eek:

It should work on Vista.

Try compatibility mode and running it under admin rights.

Ive run BHD on vista. Worked fine for me.

it works greater than XP i figured out. I have less crashes, my PC runs faster and greater

when i used to play BHD it was on vista, never had any problems

Thanks a lot guys. Ok, I guess I can quit using BHD as an excuse for not going to a Vista machine (though I'm sure there are others I can fall back on - ha). :rolleyes:

How about the fact that XP is just more reliable? lol

Thats a good enough reason.

I've had it on my desktop and laptop for over a year now. Not once has it crashed. Not only that but it's just as snappy as my xp machine was, though I do have pretty good specs. No problems with applications either... Where does all the false Vista hate come from?

I think some people need to try Windows Mojave ;)

I dont false hate Vista. I really like it, and the feature are good.

But ive had to switch back to XP 3 times now due to various different errors that i couldnt seem to fix, after searching for answers for months.

And lmao at the Mojave thing. Stupid people.

I can't believe one of the women gave Vista a 0, when she had never used it =/

waiting for windows 7 :)

Lets hope its as good as its supposed to be.

Not too sure about the theme. It looks like a childs version of Vista.

Hmmmm. I guess my dislike (or distrust) comes from all the bad press I've heard or read. Also, I hear it's quite the memory hog (which is normal for Windows anything), but even more so for Vista. And now we hear they're upgrading again. I'd read that many old or older programs would either run poorly, or not boot up at all, with Microsoft telling you to contact the software company for an upgrade or patch. I've got a couple old favorites that are no longer supported (or the company has gone out of business!) and I hate to lose their use.

But, if the general opinion has changed, and Vista has a better rep than it used to, I'm willing to give it a chance. :confused:

there is a very BIG misconception that using a lot of RAM is a bad thing, the more stuff the the memory the better! the problem is if there is a memory leak in a app... which would not be the fault of Windows anyway.

why have all that RAM in your system if you want any of it to be used? :D

Well seeing as newer computers are built with 2gb ram, instead of 1gb like they used to.. i dont see that ram is an issue lol

how much ram can vista can work with the max is it 8gb or 4gb?

i can max my out MOB to 4Gb ram
only using 2Gb ram right now in it

Home Basic 8GB
Home Premium 16GB
Business, Enterprise and Ultimate 128GB

Thats the x64 versions right?

I need some help... DFBHD workds fine on vista for me but when I try to connect to novaworld it gives me a white page and says "page cannot be displayed"

any suggestions?

Did you run BHD in compatibility mode and under admin rights?

(Sorry, I haven't really used Vista - I don't know much. :()
