Anyone tried Vista yet and if you have, did you get EM games to run or not?
I have older versions of it and registered for beta 2 but MS gave me severeal keys all not working.
Got RC1 now so going to try and see if any of the keys work with that :excl:

Will let you know if get it to work and if can run any of the EM games plus the FD games as well

Here's hoping that they will work on Vista as know what chance there would be for getting a patch from 16T

Got it installed and running, waiting for sound drivers to be released, EM3 runs fine from current installation but hangs on exit as does EM4. EM4 however doesn't run comes up with error which is weird. Would have thought with it being newer would run fine, will instal in vista and see how it runs, need sound to test properly.

Love vista so far:D

I installed Vista and it caused me a whole world of trouble! EM3 wouldn't run...I installed a new driver from NVIDIA and all seems ok on the basic level, however the sound effects don't work (installed latest vista Realtek HD driver). Also patch 3 (the German langauge one) won't install what so ever. I have sort of given up :-( was a great game on XP while it lasted, especially with LA MOD!

There would be a way to install the patch, its just we would need to find a way to extract all files from the patches then instead of running the install you would need to copy the files in the directory and addition the registry entrys manualy

It starts up now fine and runs fine without patches or mods but the in game sound(ie emergency personnel dont say 'on the scene', 'ok', 'going there' etc), furthermore when in game it cuts when cars have accidents or the incident escalates further there is no sound

it's so annoying, why won't it work, I even ran it with windows capability wizard and no still doesn't work

like I said in my above post I installed the latest NVIDIA driver for vista plus Realtek HD audio driver. Please help me!!!

Thanks anyone who can help!

I had the same problems with Vista, and especially with the LAMod it would crash every 5mins on playing freeplay.
a friend of mine helped me out with EM4 and Vista and the headache it was causing me.
Ok what you need to do is go into the properties section of EM4 launcher and you should see the Compatibility section and you can either run the game in the mode it last played it or if it is ticked then take it out and run it in Vista which i did and i haven`t had any problems since I unticked the box and started up the game!

So you could try that to see if it works or not

No didn't work, I don't understand you get the injured people making noises, you get the emergency vehicels with their sirens and all sound effects (wind, rain, thunder etc) but no 'ok then' 'going there' 'on my way' from the personnel.

On from that patch 3 doesn't install, which I thought might help the sound, I'm the kind of person that follows the readme to the last word however I clear my registry with TNT fix and click setup for the install and Vista says the install shield has stopped responding and that's it won't install any further.

It must be the Realtek HD Audio Driver but it's the latest one. Perhaps it's not meant to work for me

Any further input would be very helpful, many thanks

Yay I've sorted it, I re-installed my audio driver and in game sound works now!! Furthermore I don't think patch 3 from the website is working properly. I ended up downloading it from elsewhere with Hoppah's instructions of how to go about doing it and it installed fine!
Just downloading LA Mod now, this hopefully proves EM3 runs with VISTA!!!! Wo Hooo! Thank you everyone for your help

Yeah no worries, well I downloaded the patch off emergency 3 downloads, opened it up did the TNT Reg thing (deleting registry), then ran the setup, this is where the trouble was, the installer just wouldn't run, it stopped responding and just crashed everytime with windows Vista trying to look for a solution to the problem (can never find one!). Anyway I searched the web for patch 3 and came across gameshell.com and found the patch, it's shown on this link here:

http://www.gamershel...oad_11751.shtml

Then just click download under any of the country headings.

I then followed Hoppah's instructions on the readme with the config file, again had issues with this, you go in to change the langauge from German to English and while trying and save it an error message shows saying can not save C:Programs/Sixtons entertainment etc. So I went 'file' 'save as' and saved the notepad on my desktop. All I did was then cut that file and place it under the Emergency 3 folder and when it asked do I want to replace exisiting config file, you click yes.....job done, then download the amazing LA MOD again from the E3 downloads section!

Hope this helps others using Vista, any problems just add a reply and I'll try and help!
