Neocron on Windows Vista, 7 & 8

[Rob01m]

Thanks for your contribution Rob.

Also, whatever my issue with Vista was is now irrelevant, since apparently it only affects me and I'm now running a different shitty excuse for an operating system. ò_ó
Thanks to everyone for trying to help.

Sorry, flib. The thread was merged and it was in my User CP from a different issue, so I didn't read through all the posts.

I'll read through the thread and see if I can help.

EDIT: It's not an issue I've encountered before.

But you said you restored your laptop, and Neocron once again worked. Over time it stopped working, and the only thing that changed were Windows Updates, correct? Was SP1 one of those updates? I haven't had any difficulties with SP1 myself, but it changes quite a bit, and might narrow things down.

Some other things: The Neocron installer taking a long time to do anything is normal behavior. Laptop drivers are harder to find, but if you want the latest (albeit beta), I can point out some good links. Especially if SP1 was installed, that may have updated your drivers as well, which might not be a good version.
