ACOW/TOAWIII and Vista? - Pax25 - 12-28-2007

Do both ACOW and TOAWIII run on Vista?

I'm trying to get my cousin into the game by giving him my old ACOW in hopes that he will buy TOAWIII, but he has Vista.

Thanks.

This is from the matrix website :

http://www.matrixgames.com/games/game.asp?gid=317

O/s supported : Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
800 MHz CPU
64MB RAM (128 MB for XP)
32MB Video Card
Windows Compatible Sound Card
600MB free, uncompressed Hard Drive space
Windows-compatible Mouse
DirectX 9+

So I am not sure if it will work uner Vista (I play it under XP).

Thanks guys. I've heard that TOAWIII works on Vista from others, but how about ACOW?

I think ACOW will work under Vista, if you patch it up to 1.04. The patch is available through this site; go G-2 Intel; Game Action; Member Hosted Web Sites; TOAW/COW Mods & Patches. He may have to run it with the no-CD patch, which is also available at the same place. The problem is, the Windows/XP/Vista system may have trouble with the old CD copyprotect device, and the no-CD method gets around that, and also will allow him to play without the CD in the computer.
