N3O Age Of Empires and Starcraft 2 Clan

I'd volunteer but I don't feel too comfortable with vista and I already have some issues to fix here

I could help if you like, I run as admin but can create a user account, but I've not got a lot of registry experience..... if I can help in any way let me know.

Just let me know, I can help out.

I could help though i am just getting used to vista/my labtop and I have already had a lot of trouble getting AOE3 fully downloaded onto my comp.

ill help

i got vista 64 bit

I have Vista 64 and had the hardest time installing the game. Even after installation, I continued to have problems because, when I needed to reboot the game, my computer wouldn't recognize the disc. I read on-line that you go to explorer, right-click on the application, and open as administrator. But, if my dvd drive doesn't recognize the disc, I can't open as administrator in Explorer. Yesterday, I rebooted and was having this problem again and just couldn't overcome it.

So, I ended up troubleshooting for at least an hour and eventually clicked "Start" and noticed that Age of Empires was listed in, I guess it's the recently played list? So, I right clicked on that and saw the "open as admin" option. Clicked on that and it started right up. I pinned Age of Empires to the permanent list directly above the recently played list.

Hope that helps someone because I was thinking my dvd drive was bad. I'm not so sure anymore.

If you're able to help with testing this please send an email to mnbob70@gmail.com. I'll use email to coordinate the testing. Thanks.

Great news bob xD

i tried ur v15 of the fp launcher and i was able to run it without doing run as admin. My account is admin but with the the first fp launcher i had to do run as admin with this one i dont.

not sure if u want me to try it on a normal vista account as non admin.
ill try it 2morrow though if i have free time its 2 am atm and im tired

gj on fixing the run as admin issue

Ok for me the patch works on both admin and nonadmin accounts without having to run as admin but there is 1 problem. It does not give me the option of running the fan patch only the ESO one

Cool. I googled for a solution but I had no way to test so I didn't even know if I had done it correctly.

Sorry, I tried to explain that in the email. The download didn't include the fan patch that's why I said to make a backup copy of your Fan Patches folder.

EDIT: But otherwise, great news!
