I am having problems running any game under Game Jackal on my Vista Ultimate SP1 system. I have tried Civilization 4 Gold, Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword, and Age of Empires III. All of the games ask for the game CD when started up under Game Jackal.
I also have an install of Vista Home Premium on the same machine. As a test, I installed AoE III on my Home Premium boot & Game Jackal worked fine. I also ran GJ on my Vista Ultimate boot approx. 6 months ago, and it worked fine then. I recently re-installed Vista Ultimate & SP1 on that boot and GJ no longer works. I have created new profiles for the games.
I first tried GJ 3.1.1.4 and it didn't work. I then removed 3.1.1.4 from the system and tried 3.1.1.5. It didn't work, either. To keep it an apples-to-apples comparison, I installed 3.1.1.5 on my Home Premium boot (which worked with AoE III).
