F1,F3,F4,F5 not working - Lizardking - 02-23-2010

Gday everyone, just having a bit of trouble seeing the function key funtionalities (parameter details......) but can get unit data to work. It comes up with windows help bar. I have Vista

Cheers

Lizard,

I had the same issue as you are describing. I had to eventually follow the instructions in the VISTA help bar and download a windows exicutable file. I think it was something like win32.. or something like that.

After I did that all the help stuff came through nicely.

I'm not a frontline computer guru to assist you in what I did. In fact I might have gotten really lucky by just reading the instructions in VISTA help! But maybe one of the members who is better at computers than I am could talk you through the process if you need help.

Thanks
Ivan the Big

Go to Microsoft web and look for and I think it is win32help, it is a patch so all of your function keys work.

Thanks for your help guys but it's still not working. Downloaded WGApluginInstall but didn't work, still get unit data which is the most important though. It's just bugging me.

Look this thread:

...or go right away: "Start --> Program Files --> John Tillers Campaign Series --> JTCS Unit Viewer"

Will work only if you have 32 bit Vista though (if I got it right).
