Solid Gone Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If you couldn't install the game at all this might help you... I had a nightmare with this this last night, after logged off from the site (in a foul mood, after repeatedly trying to install the demo) I gave it one last try...and it worked. In my own particullar case, I was trying to install on my "user account" in Vista...it was a disaster, it wouldn't install without errors no matter how I installed it (as admin, as user, express, etc). The last try I gave it, I deleted the demo, switched to my admin account, downloaded the demo again and installed on my admin account...result....absolutely perfect install and gameplay (so far). Just posting this for Vista any folks who couldn't actually get the game to install...I hope it is of some help to somebody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglealan64 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Another thing - I wasn't able to play the game last night as the response was incredibly slow but after a reboot this morning it works fine - 3D inluded!! So if you are struggling reboot and load FM before doing anything else to see if it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bell Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Yes, install as administrator and run as administrator in Vista. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
treble_yell_:-) Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 im willing to bet running the installer as an admin would solve a fair portion of peoples problems, problem is it seems a fair portion of the user base are computer illiterates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bell Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 It doesnt help that Vista is counter-intuitive when it comes to these kinds of installs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
