well, progress of sorts but it may be another 10 years before it works properly. Turned UAC off, restarted then managed to start FC through the .bat file. Took the SU25 for a spin then, after about a minute the whole app starts minimizing to the desktop. Can raise it for about a second, then it minimises again. Keeps doing it, not even enough time to get to the QUIT button so I have to Task Manager to exit. Just rubbish. I know that I can turn full screen off, but I want to drop the resolution slightly to increase the performance (it chokes slightly on the full 3840 triple screen res). So how do I drop the res and still make it fill the screen...'Use fullscreen' I hear you say. But that just minimises to the desktop. AAAggghhhh. This is a brand new install of Vista64 so there shouldnt be any rogue processes interupting. I did not think that getting LO functioning was going to be my life's work. smudger

thanks for that Rhen, I will give it a go. Am curious as to the reason for the c/ location? smuj70

thanks for that but I have been searching for a long time now. It is an Evolved issued GOLD CD. Could that be the cause of the issue? The last thing that I see is the Starforce window 'checking disc' and then the runtime error (accompanied by the LO sound effects coming on). All very irritating!!!!!!!!

Hi I am at the end of my tether trying to get LO FC working on my new vista64 PC. Have been at this for about a month now scouring the forums. I can get LO1.1 working (as long as full screen is switchd of within LO) but when ever I try to overlay FC, the game will not start. I get a runtime error. I have tried installing 1.12b patch installing the latest starforce drivers running as admin running in XP emulation turning off UAC starting using the lockon.bat ..and more. Is this game just too old to run on modern hardware. My system is Q6600 8800gt (have upgraded to latest drivers, but no joy) 4Gb RAM asus extreme2 MB triplehead2go Please help. I am going insane. I would let it go if there was another decent modern combat game out there. cheers in advance smuj70
