Hi,
I just got a new laptop and it has Vista on it like most new laptops and computers now. My desktop is on XP and everything works fine on it and I would use it but it's broken and keeps trying to do a physical dump of all it's memory so I can't use it until I get the hard drive backed up at the computer place.
On my Vista laptop I can run PCM but none of the editors at all. I can't run Hannes Convertor 2.0, PCM Kicker Lite or PCM Kicker NG, it gives an error in HC 2.0 when trying to open a savegame and errors in the kickers when importing the tables to access.
Is there anyone that has actually got an editor to work on Vista?
and can someone upload their fully-functioning savegame for me to see if it is only because i'm trying to fix broken saves, please?

I use vista on my desktop machine, and I've never had problems...well, I've never had a problem opening a single db. It crashes when trying to load another db from within Hannes Convertor or Editor. When I want to open another db I have to uninstall the editor/convertor through control panel and then reinstall to open up the new db.
Did you get your savefile Addy? There are ones available from this very site you know!  |

Yeah the game works on the laptop fine (maybe even better than on the desktop ) it's is just the editors don't work

Does this work?:
Put the db you want to change on a USB Stick, put in on your normal pc, change it there, and then place you USB Stick back on your laptop??

My desktop is broken, that's the only reason i'm making a fuss about trying on my laptop
The man has it to fix it at the moment but we don't know how long it'll be

Vista is way better, only a shame that the editors doesn't work, or in my case hannes gives many mistakes |

Also can any other Vista-guys Export results?
I can't The results don't show up in the "Exported Results" folder (PCM06) so for the management game for example, i have to take many many screenshots of the results and manually write them down which is also a pain in the arse

Are you kidding? Apart from the fact it eats RAM like Jan Ullrich ate Stollen during the off-season, Vista has all sorts of problems that just weren't an issue with XP - such as software/hardware compatibity, even with stuff supposedly 'certified' to work with Vista.
For example, check this thread out:
https://www.pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthr...ad_id=3004
This is the problem with my graphics card, a common problem with vista users (https://www.driverheaven.net/vista-rad...or-25.html)
thats just one example. I have also had problems with Internet explorer and windows media player, both products of microsoft but seem to enjoy the occasional malfunction. The computer is 4 months old and has no viruses or spyware (I check daily), and yet I have had more problems with this PC than my laptop which I've had for 4 years (running XP) |
