	Do the other 3 or 4 posts with exact instructions not work? The only things you need to do to get AC (not decal or any plugins) to work is right click and run as administrator. You might have to install DirectX 9.0c as well, but I'm not sure on that. -----signature----- Proud member of The Knights of Fortune Mr Adventure - Lil' Pew - Da Noob - Qar Yaroz - Yanno http://www.fortunesway.com

	Just to chime in on this... The only thing I had to do to get AC running under Vista is to put it in a folder outside of program files. That is it. No run as administrator and no problems running AC.

MageChick Posts: 14 Registered: 2002-12-16 09:16:27	it would also help if you were more specific about what the problem is. For example, I did the following: 1. Install in a directory other than Program Files. 2. Once installed, it tried to patch. I received an error...I had to apply a MS fix first. 3. At this point, I got an authentication error...first I disabled the firewall and tried again. It connected and so I had to make the appropriate rule changes in the firewall....for me there were a couple launch apps that needed to be allowed and then I had to oepn a few UDP ports in the firewall...ie 5000, 5001, 5002, etc. I suggest you go to the turbine site as they have the updated steps as well as links. For the firewall stuff, if after shutting off your firewall, you are able to connect but can't connect with it on, then get someone with IT experience to help you through it.

	Get windows 7 and install to C:\games. -----signature----- We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants.
