    Sorry for naive and annoying questions, but I have been using XP for long, long time, and I have installed Win 7 only 3 days ago after my PC huge upgrade, and I dont know it so good.
    1. What means "you should still do the permission steps" and how to do it?
    2. May I do it with my mods installed or should I unninstall it?
    Thanks for answers

    As irishron said: simply go through the whole tutorial without worrying what to do and what not. It's a one time affair and then a lot of pit falls are already avoided with regards to installing other mods or upgrading them.

    Hello this is for everyone who is using WINDOWS 7 HOME and cant fix the Virtual Store function

    As you may have discovered already that you cant physically search up local security polices; have no fear I have the answer!
    I was browsing the web and found this.

    Search Regedit on your start search and follow the rest, you'll get it just keep trying.

    Now that I have gotten rid of Virtual store, how do I delete the backup files it created?
    Remember this is for people with WINDOWS 7 HOME

    This post was exactly what I needed. Thanks for that. You saved me. In case anyone else who is searching for this is using Windows 7 Home (as I was), there is no Local Policies found. Here's what you do:
    - Regedit.exe
    - Go to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies
    - Right-click on Policies and add a DWORD:
    - Name is EnableVirtualization
    - Value is 0 (Note: Zero means 'disable')

    After a restart, it'll ignore the Virtual Store as you said.

    Interesting find, up to the user to disable it - in line with the decision to disable the UAC.

    To find the VirtualStore 'backups' go through the tutorial where it describes how to find the VirtulStore:
    You might want to consider going into C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files, and deleting the Med2 folder, so there's no confusion for the game, and also to save space.
    Underneath are the instructions on how to make it visible.

    Hey Gigantus I followed the tutorial and did the secruity "properties" changes but I cant access the actual Virtual store through AppData. I believe this is because I use Windows 7 Home edition not preiumun or what have you. I think to access these files I have to go through Regedit exe files. I'll go looking and let you guys know if I find it.

    Hello everyone I finally found the Virtual Store folder for all people using WINDOWS 7 HOME EDITION

    To access open Regedit through using the Start Search option. Then follow these steps into these folders.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore. After which go into Machine/Software, after opening that folder you'll be able to locate the Sega folders the store saved over. simply right click and delete!

    I have Win7 Premium and the Virtual Store is only a hidden folder there, check the last section in the OP on how to make it accessible: How to Unhide hidden folders on Windows

    Um guys, I can't see the solution for some reason. Like I'm reading the OP, and down at number 3 it says "Here is how do to it:" followed by a big blank space and then a few lines later "This fixes your Med2 problem, without having to in any way disable or remove..." Any help?

    Hi, I am at the permissions for Medieval 2 at the Users (admin-PC\Users) and the options you need me to tick ( full control and modify ) are already checked, like all the other option in a grey color and I can't change change them. What should I do ?

    If for your login it says Full Control, you should be good.
