"knight" Punkbuster needs administrative rights. So right click Battlefield and run it as an administrator. Paul Smith, Yeovil, UK. Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User. windowsresource.net/*Remove nospam. to reply by email*

How come when I double click my CD drive icon, the disk spins but the game doesn't run? I have to eject the CD and reload it. BTW, I liked XP. It worked, didn't crash and was easy to navigate. Unfortunately, I bought a new PC with Vista and I'm kind of stuck with it.

*Quote* Unfortunately, I bought a new PC with Vista and I'm kind of stuck with it.Well this isn't true you are entitled to a backgrade to XP Home if you purchased home premium vista, or XP Pro if you purchased business ultimateHowever personally I love vista and games run pretty well flawlessly on my PC (currently have 20 installed including BF2, Quake3 and Prey I mention these because clearly they are not 'Games for Windows' titles and have supposed 'known' faults, however I am yet to come across any) I'd be more inclined to see what other faults you may have with your machine before blaming Vista straight away, perhaps a reload of your system?And instead of using your autorun to launch the game, use the built in vista 'games' folder, it's fantastic!

Do you get your money back if you "backgrade". I paid over 150 buck for this os and would expect it to run at least as well as the xp os i left. I don't feel I should have to change code or go through all the hassles it takes to get my computer running like it did before. They should have at least addressed these probs and presented solutions to us before we paid and download. I have reinstalled my non vista games and none of them work even after running as an administer. Nothing was wrong with my computer before. All games worked before without a hitch.
