Hi All
My computer recently died which was running on XP.
I have now purchased anew one which runs on Vista.
I have heard that FPSC doesn't work on vista so..

1) Is it true my FPSC wont run on vista?

2) Do i have to purchase the hole program again (ie FPSC X10 and all the mods)
or is there a way i can still create and play my games on vista os?

Thanks for your time

That is not true.

I'm not sure what you're asking for number 2.

You don't need to buy the whole thing again. The easiest thing to do is to get someone proficient with computer's innards to import all the data from your old HDD (or at least the 'The Game Creators' folder) onto your new HDD. Of course, reinstalling FPSC will restore all the desktop shortcuts again.

I'm not sure if that's piracy (I can't see why it would be but its always safe to check!)

Oh and the other thing is it helps if you right-click the FPS Creator icon when you want to start it and click 'Run as Administrator' as it'll mean that Vista is letting FPSC do whatever it wants.

There are no mods for X10. The source code hasn't been released yet.

I need to put a fence up. Maybe such a program can help me with the posts? No digging, just take the laptop. Sweet!

I have FPSC on Vista. You will realise that there will be a lot more lag on Vista.
