Lucky you :p And I wouldn't call 16 GB 'only'...

Yeah, works fine again... for now.

But Vista only takes about 16GB.

Well, getting rid of UAC is desirable as well :xd: I can't wait to buy my new computer, without Vista :p It takes like 40 Gb of space now :/

Yeah... turns out my User Account Control was somehow turned back on... now my changes have been overwritten with the originals... I am ticked.

I think I'll do that Keraunos. Should've listened to you before...

Kitkun, what folder did you install the game in? If it's Program Files/Windows, IIRC Vista makes something like 'backup' of those folders and checks if something was changed; it seems to randomly use previous versions. If it is so, I strongly advise you to reinstall your game, and put it outside 'Program Files', for example C:\Games\EaW

I have Vista x64 Ultimate (the most famously temperamental and fickle version there is) and it runs the game fine, as well as all the mods I use. :p

Ok... I have no idea if this is actually Vista's fault... but,
I open the game yesterday, and all my own changes were fine. (Including where dreadnoughts couldn't be built.)
I open today, and suddenly, I can build them again. I double check the files, they haven't been changed in 3 days. And they open with my code in them.
I cannot figure out what is going on.

Summary:
For who-knows-what-reason, the game is loading the ORIGINAL PR files from who-knows-where, and all the files I have have my changes in them...
Does anybody have any ideas?

I've just lost all ability to mod the mod, with no idea why, or even how.

Thanks Kitkun.

Edit: I posted something in here that was for an entirely other subject

Note: Disabling UAC will lead to a less secure system, so be warned.

On the control panel, type uac into the search box, should bring it up. It'll require a restart, though.

(Or just google it like I did.) ;)

Edit: Spelling fix. I grammar Nazi myself! :D

I am well aware this makes me sound like an idiot, but where is the off button for UAC? I can see where it says on, but I don't see where the turn off button is
