Unkown for Vista

[Empowered One 41]

Okay, I have found some downloads to enhance my game, but every package is full with programs that aren't recognized by Vista!

[Empowered One 41]

To be more precise, only blanco pictograms appear that you can't open. Even with the option of finding a program on the internet.

Some software isn't compatible with Windows Vista. I do not have Vista so i am not exactly sure.

[Q-Tips 37]

Hmm, cant see i have this problem.

I have vista, and when i download, there is no problem with the instal program besides from vista asking me at the end of the instal if it was instaled correct, where i then answer "Yes". It have happen a couple of times where i was nlucky and answered "No", something that makes vista starting looking around to find a solution.

But any problem downloading and instaling wouldnt be anything in my experience.

Stupid Vista! For making me unable to change trains skins and dig for sunken highways.

Why is Windows so ..... Aargh!

Are you the administrator? Everything works perfect for me. What version of Vista are you using?

[Empowered One 41]

I have got Vista Home Premium.

[toxicpiano 125]

Are you using an administrator account?

[Empowered One 41]

? no

Go to the control panel, select classic view from the left hand side panel. Then select user accounts and it should say whether your accoubnt is standard or an administrator. If your account is a standard account I would seriously advise changing to an aministrator.
If you are an administrator go to the program you can't open and right click it, select properties and then select the compatibility tab, make sure you chack run as administrator and select for compatibilty mode, Windows XP (service pack 2) Then click apply and try to use the program again if it does not work try reinstalling/redownloading it.

PS could you be specific about the programs you are trying to use?

[Empowered One 41]

Okay, I am the administrator but I still can't acces the files.

Uhm, the icon is a white sheet of paper. When I have donloaded the Hole digging lots for example. And that is all I can say because I am not the computer-ish type.

And btw warrior, the right-clicking thing does not help since even with administrator rights, all I can do is change the file name.

I don't think Vista can open .zip archives.  XP could do that, but I don't think this feature ported over.  Download and install  WimRAR, and you should be good to go.

Darn it Vista for not even working with WinRar!

Odd... It should be able to. Unless somehow it's become unassociated with zips.

Afstand: Have you tried going to open with and then winRAR?

[Empowered One 41]

....good one, I haven't try that yet, am going to do that now.

So I'm not the only one cursing Vista? I considered attempting to convert to XP it got so bad...

[Empowered One 41]

nope, it only gets the readme file. (Which is written in Word as al readme's do).

[Empowered One 41]

Just started the game again and it finnaly worked, I have the hole digger lots!

Now it's time to try some other stuff. Thank you for helping me so far everyone!

If the files are WinRar compressed, Windows XP, or WinZip, neither one could open WinRAR files. I have not tried opening WinRAR with Vista

[Empowered One 41]

Yup, everything works now. Thanx to the max!
