    Default Will EB 2 be Vista compatible?

    Well, the title says it all. I just got a new Vista computer (XP broke, got this one for a bargain) and I can barely get M2:TW to run anyway. I would really like to play this, loved the first one, but I'm not sure I can. Will it be Vista compatible? If not, then will there be instructions for how to get it to work on Vista? Thanks guys

    Just install it somewhere else...

    Make a file Games on your C drive for example (C:\Games) and install all your games there.
    Or just install your games directly on your C drive (in the case of RTW that would end up being: C:\Activision or C:\The Creative Assembly, depending on whether you have the Gold edition or not).

    Just make sure you don't install to C:\Program Files\...

    so for RTW the install path would look like this:
    C:\Games\Activision\Rome-Total War
    right? and then if i want to install EB 1 on it i would install it to the above folder?

    Yes. You can give it any name you like, though.

    Cool. I'll probably install R:TW and EB 1 tomorrow.
    Any info on when EB 2 will be out?

    Anywhere between now and the end of time.

    (If you want me to take a guess which one, I would say closer to the latter...)

    One question, why not installing in Program Files??
    You just wasted 4 seconds of your life reading this sentence. You'll read it again because it was so funny and waste another 4. And since you read that sentence, some more disappeared, count this sentence and it's 'nother couple. Good job time waster!

    Vista has a feature called User Account Control(Its more Hindrance than help) that doesn't allow you to access those folders very well.
