id play if i could find my cd key for it =(

I'd say it's because your computer is infected with the vista virus. best way to disinfect your system is to get back XP

I would if I could, but a lot of the people in my work group who're trying to go back are finding that it won't install :P

Don't know about the problem. Personally, I'd blame Vista.

For new maps and weapons, you can try out the Sheriff's Special Forces mod: http://www.sheriffsdpt.com -- and of course, the official expansion: The Stetchkov Syndicate.

...For better or worse, it's not like in SWAT 3, where there were a hundred guns that were exactly the same. If you'd like some multiplayer, PM me with a time and place. :)

Got any other games?

Not for the laptop, though I've been known to UT2004 on occasion

Under the compatability tab where you set it to XP mode, choosing 'Disable desktop composition' and 'Run this program as an administrator' is always worth trying...

... If you don't have Aero and UAC on anyway then we're all doomed. c.c

Nope, running as an admin does diddly.

What are Aero and UAC?

Aero's the prettiness in Vista (unless you're running Home Basic) which would be turned off with 'Disable desktop composition', and UAC's when you see the darkened screen and 'are you sure?' prompts, which you'd see if you ran it as administrator.

Other than that I'm not sure, a quick search is telling me the majority aren't having any compatability issues with Vista... Perhaps there's a patch to be had?

I hate Vista....and I LOVE SWAT 4. Is it a pirated copy?

Nope! Perfectly legit, with the expansion :)

Ah, SWAT 4 is great. ^^ Love the atmosphere.

Ah yes. Just me, the computer, and my old friend "Unauthorised Use of Deadly Force" :P

Hehe, I try to keep that to a minimum. :3 Love the slow, stealthy action in SWAT... ^^

The problem with Vista is DirectX.

In order to get the best performance possible for DX10, Microsoft decided to ditch all the old code and start fresh for DX10. DirectX9 is there but only in emulation, so that games that use it (like UT2004) can run. Any other games that use DX8 or older, odds are they simply won't run, no matter how much they get tweaked.

It's Vista, plain and simple unfortunately.

Vista is known and notorious for not running the majority of the games on the market right now. And most likely they won't do anything to make it more compatible. The game industry will simply have to make their games more compatible for Vista...damn Microsoft -__-*

I love Vista. People are always bashing it but it's very convieniant for me. And to be honest, things are starting to work more and more with Vista.
