So I managed to get a laptop. It has Vista... will I not blue screen, like rumored with most installations, when I install RA2?

I'm not one to use rockpatch anyway. >_>
Though, there is a similar thing with RS isn't there?
...Now to get it looking good. RS looks large (low res for now) and C&C3 even has nearly the same issue... just also a lack of detail. Going to have to mess with that. Though, that can wait because my computer is still my main computer. Laptop is just for portability.

The Laptop does not plahy RS nearly as good as my computer, actually. Probably a RAM issue since I only have 2 GB.

I only have 128mb, thats about 0.125GB RAM, and I have no problem, just takes 5mins to load...
And thats just theoretically, in practice my gfx card takes 64mb from that, leaving me with 0.0625GB, so don't go blaming your gfx card either.

Actually, it is buggy with a lot of programs. Blue screens with Firefox if it's the default browser. I would not be shocked if it was simply buggy with YR or whatnot.

Yeah, 2gig eats RS up. I'd guess it's some processor issue...
Anyways, believe it or not, future versions will require system specs slightly beefier than YR's recommended... Remember how fuckloads of units used to slow things to a crawl regardless of specs?
I have actually attempted to slug the 2.0 beta up, and have failed. Even online it's massively faster than ever.

Sometimes I find other Vista users pathetic.
YR will run fine if put in Administrator Mode, and if you run the non-TFD version Compability mode may be required too.
So many things are fixed by Administrator mode. Voxel Section Editor for example.

MCV speeks trooth.
Seriously guys...Vista ain't bad. I had more problems getting YR to work on XP than Vista.
As for IPX, I believe installing Service Advertising Protocol under your LAN connection (or its equivalent in Vista) SHOULD give you an IPX/emulator or something...unless I was seeing things...

No real problems with my installation. Of course I am my own administrator, and not everyone has TFD. I've had RA2/YR and TS/FS since a year or so before TFD. :o
