1) Turn off UAC (you need to reboot after this).
- Turned off almost right after installing Vista
2) Create a profile for a game that you know works under XP.
- Using Star Wars - Battlefront II
3) Start the profile and note the results.
- Used Profile Map that comes with GJ
- result, game crashes at profiling "Battlefront II has stopped working"
4) Reboot the computer.
- trying to run profile after results in a need to reboot
5) Start the same profile again and note the results (make sure you do this straight after the reboot). If nothing appears to happen after starting the profile, check the running processes to see if the game's process is in the list.
- Profile seems to run but GJ tray icon just sits there blinking
- running processes: GameJacke.exe, BattlfrontII.exe
- right clicking on tray icon and choosing deactivate BattlefrontII results in option graying out but BattlefrontII.exe process is left running.
- right clicking tray icon and choosing to exit GJ results in nothing, GJ continues to run... well it sits there really and blinking still.
6) Run as Administrator
- no change
The rest of the games that I have running under XP, see my list of working games in thread of same name, have either 2 things happen under Vista, either the game crashes right away when trying to profile or the profile seems to work both lead to #5 above when trying to run the profile. I was having virtually the exact if not THE exact problem with GJ & Vista before Slysoft took over from Maplom.
System:
OS - Vista Ultimate x32
RAM - 2G
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+ 2.41GHz
I have another computer with Vista on it which I am looking at moving back to XP because my stepson mostly uses it to play games but I am going to try GJ on it and see what the results are as it is basically untouched as regards any "tweaking" since installation, whereas this one has been tweaked every which way
as well it's a single core with a different processor if that makes any difference.
