running aa on vista

[HolyFires-=Of-God=-(Jay)]

if you start running vista on your pc you will have to open aa as admin other wise you will be kicked for packet lost every time..

And I find yet another reason to steer clear of Vista for as long as possible!! LOL

The software development company I work for is having fits with Vista and it's various securities and new features. To borrow a phrase, "It does not play well with others."

I personally don't like it's new features, nor do I like the "new look" of Office 2007. But, I suppose everyone will eventually have to get it.

I guess there was opposition to the the light bulb, steam engines, the Model T, computers...(you get my point)

NP, Matt -- I'll quote your other post (which is now deleted ) into this thread, as there's some good additional information in it:

I personally have had this problem, and tons of others now have too...so I decided to make a topic about just this. If this has been done before, I'm sorry for reposting it.

If you are being kicked by PB while running Vista for different reasons, then most likely this fix should work for you.

Right-click the America's Army icon on the desktop [or wherever it is] and click "Properties" then click the "Compatibility" tab. Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" Farther down in the window is the "Privilege level" area, in that area is an option for "Run as Administrator" and check it to on. After all this click OK or Apply and that should do it!

If you need it explained more, here's the AA support forum's thread on it: forum.americasarmy.com/viewtopic.php?t=248540
