Jorz Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 since 2 of our members couldnt play on win 7,i am wondering the reason and if i should stay on xp and if anybody plays on 7 Quote
milli vanilli Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 i'm on 7, no problems. get off xp and on 7, you'll run new stuff smoother Quote
SkyeDarkhawk Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Also on 7 with no issues, 64bit no less. Quote
jaie Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 if you don't have any problems with xp then you have no reason to change. Quote
Chuckun Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Win 7 Premium, 64bit.. I have no problems. The only problem you will incur is the UAC (User Account Control) system f*cking with ET.exe's ability to save files such as demos, screenshots, and condumps - but I've written a tutorial (see my sig) for fixing that issue Go on ahead and upgrade - if the worst comes to the worst, you can probably make ET run in Win XP compatibility mode Quote
hobbit Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 win7 x64. Everything runs perfect. Like Chuck said, disable UAC right away. Some ppl also said the built-in mouse accel sucks and needs to be disabled but i didnt feel any so dunno about that. Quote

UAC was made to protect you - it's pretty useless if you're 100% savvy with your computer but my tutorial just enables ET to run as an administrator, keeping UAC enabled.. I don't wanna be responsible for putting people's PC security at threat Quote
INDIAN** Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 i play on 7. and it works good for me.ya i am sure. Quote

I don't wanna be responsible for putting people's PC security at threat Disable UAC =D. UAC doesn't do anything for PC security (Nothing at all). It is sorta like a guy standing over your shoulder saying "are you sure you want to do that?" everytime you click on something. Quote
Jorz Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 hahaha oh em gee i am so stupid xD a friend was installing win 7 for me when i was away and i told him to cancel hahaha now i will tell him to reinstall 7 thanks for the backup Quote

It is sorta like a guy standing over your shoulder saying "are you sure you want to do that?" everytime you click on something. It also means if something malicious tries running with administrative rights without you knowing, it'll ask you first Thats where it becomes a security feature - thats why they made it I personally agree with you, UAC is rubbish, but im not going to promote turning it off Quote
