Or even really old games like StarCraft or Total Annihilation or Theme Hospital. All of those games could play by the rules  throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception) |

| Re: [H3XU5].lan3 - 20/21/22 February 2009 - Uttoxeter My point was simple, Red Alert has always been coded by muppets, from the very begining, it took ages to load etc. Bad code will always break, be it new OS, new hardware, or even new firewall software! Its kind of like someone complaining the road wasn't built how they wanted, as they try to transport a house! But this is off topic, however feal i should point out i've played Transport Tycoon at a lan before now (it was like 3 am, and our reaction times where shot!) throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception) |

| Re: [H3XU5].lan3 - 20/21/22 February 2009 - Uttoxeter my point is also simple, game that we play at lan + vista = fail, therefore vista fail for lan Originally Posted by AledJ

| Re: [H3XU5].lan3 - 20/21/22 February 2009 - Uttoxeter Meh, I don't know the difference between different configs and all that... Vista came pre-installed on this laptop, and rasta said it was hard to load in the first place (confirmed when I tried to have a test game) Does this mean I am somewhat back?  |
