Operation Flashpoint Games Not Working
Aug 26, 2009
Are any or all of these games MP only? if not, and the SP Campaigns can also be played... which one do you suggest I pick up? Are there more than 1? Sorry, tried to google this but it is a bit confusing. I saw the trailer of the new OF:RS coming out in Oct and I think is going to be the kind of game I would probably like to buy... very enticing to say the least. Of course, for me the motto is:, No demo, No sale. Ubisoft has made me a Non-Believer, or smarter... whichever one you like

I have Vista SP1 installed on my laptop and recently some of the games I like to play will no longer work and new ones also.The game specs say that they are Vista compatible so why won't they work on my computer? Any steps I can take to resolve this? I haven't installed SP2 as yet, or IE8 because of all the problems I've read about them so am waiting on those.

so last week or so I was cleaning up my msconfig startup options, removing the third-party programs that sometimes likes to start up with Windows. After this and doing a restart to make sure I had disabled the stuff I wanted, I noticed that Aero and alt-tab wasn't working. This didn't worry me a bit since I just thought that I might have disabled some of the needed files for my nVidia graphics card - so I went to their website and downloaded the latest driver. After installing it and restarting it, it didn't help - then I noticed that Personalize (From the right-click menu on the desktop) didn't work either. So I went to the control panel, only to find that it wasn't working either (and the menu in my Start-menu was empty of entries in the Control Panel selection).
So this week I decide to do a bit of digging around on the internet to see if other people have encountered similar problems and I find that some have had problems with drivers (mostly ati, nvidia and intel graphics drivers) messing up the licensing service of Windows Vista. So I completely removed the graphics drivers of my nvidia card and installed them again - no success. So now I'm left with the problem that the licensing service (and the messaging service that's linked to the licensing service) aren't working - or I should say, the licensing service starts like it should, but the licensing messaging service doesn't and that's (apparently what's causing my problems, since Vista thinks it's now an expired trial license, and thus it has disabled the features, like it's supposed to - or that's what I can piece together, at least). Thus, I'm asking if anyone knows of a solution to this problem that doesn't involve me reinstalling Windows Vista as this is a rather tedious task I don't want to have to do (since I'm triple-booting on OSX and FreeBSD and using Windows boot manager to do so)..

I have just recently installed aoe2 conq expansion, and I am trying to play it online again. But I need to update the game, and everytime I attempt to do it, it tells me I do not have the retail copy of the game installed, yet i have the discs sitting infront of me. I have tried running the patch in administrative rights, and tried running it under windows xp sp2 installation type, neither have worked. I have reinstalled the game multiple times, with no success.

Last night my Vista Ultimate x64 said there was 1 available update. This update was SP2 for Vista.
So I let it install. After the PC rebooted SP2 was installed, but, none of my games worked. Call Of Duty WAW, Call Of Duty 4, Prototype, Overlord, bionic commander each one of these games started to boot and then either shows me a blank screen, or crashes to desktop.
I found that there was later versions of my graphics card and my sound card so I updated both of these. It made no difference. I then uninstalled and re-installed Bionic Commander. Again no difference this game didn't work.

When trying to launch games that run in full-screen it starts up, then minimize itself, leading me back to the desktop.It still runs in the background apparently, but it will minimize right back down when I click it again. No error message at all. It used to work fine until about a month ago. I have no idea what caused this and how to fix it.

I have encountered a new problem. My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 1792 MB. I keep getting a problem with the screen when I play "trackmania" it's like some of the text and texture is blurry. Weird thing is I don't have any problems with other games like Fallout 3 or Call of duty 4-5 and so on. Those games I play with highest settings and no fuzz with the texture there. Here is a screen from trackmania, look at the blurry text and so on: ScreenShot92.jpg
I have been mixing around with the nvidia control panelt lately and tried a lot of stuff but nothing worked. My current setting is "let the program decide 3D settings"I run vista 64 bit and intel i7 950 with 6GB ram.

just got some games loaded and I used to have ATITray Tools which would let you keep the frame rate and temps in the corner during game play, anything like that for Nvidia? Just ran Quake4 at full specs and had Nvidia performance control panel turn the fan to 90%... but would like to monitor the temps and frame rates on this and other games. 9800GT 1GB. ( as soon as the new card arrives.... back to ATI tools.

Using Vista home Premium, SP1, I am using Outlook 2003 for emails, and Windows Live Hotmail. Suddenly, when I get emails in Outlook containing hyperlinks, clicking on any links, an error message appears saying "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.
I have User Account Control switched off. Using Hotmail via Internet Explorer does not have the same problem. Hyperlinks can be opened. Nor is there any other similar problem on my other computer. The only workaround, which is a little daft, is to forward the message with the hyperlink to an email account on another computer, or to my Hotmail account on the same computer.
I have tried all the Options offered in Outlook, and tried to find anything available via Control Panel, but I can't find any reason for this.

Does anyone know of a list of unnecessary services that can be turned off without harm--and speed up startup/opeation? I already have done a TrueImage restore one time and do not want to go through it again.

I have three problems which result in the 0x80071a91 error message and seem to be related to transaction support/resource manager. I found several KB articles and comments in this and other forums and tried the various fixes - none work - each is a pre-SP1 fix. My Vista system is: Factory Installed Vista Home Premium 64 bit SP1 with all updates on Gateway 4 core processor and less than three months in use.
PROBLEMS:
1) Attempting to run Backup at the point where the settings are to be saved. KB 939615 - Cannot change the settings for a file backup operation or use the Windows Task Scheduler to change the defrag schedule in WIndows VIsta. Transaction Manager Fix - 0x80071a91 error. Recommended fix is: fsutil resource setautoreset true c:
2) Attempting to delete a task Transaction support within the specified file system resource manager is not started or was shutdown due to an error. (0x80071A91)
3) Attempting to link to on-line error message from the event viewer. Clicking on "on-line event" closes the event manager snap-in
Msesage: Unhandled Exception in Managed Code Snap-n - HRESULT 0x80071A19. "This snap-in performed a non-valid operation and has been unloaded- Exception type: Syustem.Runtime.Interop.Services.comexception - HRESULT 0x80071a91."
A fourth problem may or may not be related - when I try to start Wsearch (Windosw Indexing Services) it stops within 3-5 seconds with the error msgs - 0x80040d23, 0x8007007e (VSS) finally 0x80071a91.and Events ID 1008, 1015, 1004 and 1008.

Installed Vista 64 Home Premium SP1 OEM on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, and the computer immediately began to download and install 40 updates via "auto update". These updates did not affect the operability of Vista, HOWEVER the 2nd group of "updates" (there were like 4-5) completely disabled my onboard NIC drivers and I could no longer connect to the internet. There were no updated NIC drivers on the Gigabyte website for the motherboard. I used "System Restore" but the system would not allow the NIC drivers to be reinstalled.
This is TOTALLY unacceptable when you are obligated to download "Auto-Updates" and then they require a complete reinstall of the OS to repair the damage caused by the "Update". I was forced to completely reinstall Vista 64 SP1. I allowed the first 40 updates to install, then I disabled "auto updates". Anyone else have this problem? Unfortunately, I was unable to determine exactly which module created the problem - but I tried "uninstalling" the top five "updates" on the "installed updates" list but could not get the system to allow the NIC drivers to initialize/install.

I have a network share setup b/w a Vista Ultimate x32 and XP machines. Using the XP machine, I open the Vista hosted share but found some files "missing", ie. even though they physically exist in the Vista machine, I simply cannot see them from XP. Turns out that these files are missing the EVERYONE in the File Permissions (right click file, properties, security).
These are files downloaded using Firefox, and whether they are JPG, AVI, TXT, DOC, XLS they are all missing the EVERYONE permission. If I download the same files using Internet Explorer, the files get created with the EVERYONE permission. My current workarounds ... which none are desirable are this: - Use Internet Explorer- Add EVERYONE permission for each file manually (you have to do this one by one, can't select multiple files and perform bulk operation) - Use CMD line utilities like takeown and icacls. Note this is a secure home network, and while file sharing using EVEYRONE isn't the safest way to do this, I can finetune this later. The key problem at hand is what I've described above. FireFox create files with the full permissions, same way IE does.

I must be missing something obvious... How do I do an XP style search? You remember, right-click a folder, click "Search", and have Vista search the selected folder? I've been unable to find this primitive operation. I'm willing to give up search control to Vista for local drives, but indexing our entire network, and each and every USB stick/USB Hard drive seems, well, silly for the once or twice a month I need to search in those locations. I'm willing to wait the thirty seconds it takes to search, because I can normally limit the size of the search ("Let me look through the code tree for December", for example).

I have Vista Ultimate and am using Thunderbird mail client. When I click a mailto link in Internet Explorer I get this error message: "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed". I have reset my default programs, uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, and switched my default mail client to Windows Mail and still the same result. On searching the web I can only find solutions for Windows XP, Outlook and Outlook Express. Anyone know what the deal is with Vista and Thunderbird rendering this error? And BTW I have the same setup on another computer and the mailto links work fine.

I have a new Dell laptop with a pre-installed Vista Business,and I would like to shift or "slide" its partition forward toward the start of the hard drive by 10GB to make way for a Linux dual-boot between Vista and Linux. (This is not a "shrink" operation.) Does anyone know of a utility that can do this with Vista? Gparted, BootIt NG, and Acronis Disk Director are the traditional utilities which come to mind, but I've heard of difficulties with Vista partitions where the partition was created by the Vista installer. If you've used any of these or other partitions in their "Vista compatible" versions
