So after recently taking the plunge to Vista, I was saddened when my good old trusty (and dated) Call of Duty 2 wouldn't run via a regular install! Oh noes! Well luckily I found out a way to make most "made for windows xp" games run pretty smoothly.
So here's the scoop:
First of all, go ahead and the normal install disregarding the compatibility message brought up by Vista.
Secondly, navigate to the launch file for the particular game you want to modify and go into properties.
Then two things need to be selected in order to ensure best compatibility:
Check to run as an administrator and,
Check to run "in compatibility with Windows XP SP2"
Making sure that both are checked is pretty critical to avoid permission bugs and to get you right into the gaming action once again under the hood of bloody vista!
