This the patch you're referring too,

Soldiers under Vista - Codemasters Forums

Poked around a bit on the forum but other than that thread didn't see much. Maybe you'll have better luck.

 

[ThePizzaMan]

yea i've tried all that already no such luck i've been and edited the registry before when that was the issue and fail there also.....

Have you checked the event viewer logs for a faulting app module path etc?


Have you tried running the .exe in Windows 98 /ME compatibility mode?

haven't tried the first how do i do that? and yes i've tried compatibility mode several times

Sorry mate, forgot this thread

Type 'event' in the search bar open Event Viewer > Custom Views > Administrative Events and look for the error that pertains to the game crash and see if points to faulting module path:

EG

kk i shall do that and let ya see what turns up as soon as i get a chance

 

[ThePizzaMan]

kk still haven't done this will go do now and post in the morning

 

[ThePizzaMan]

ok that was fail, i ran the game three times, got the error, then when to the administrative event viewer and there was nothing there....

 

[ThePizzaMan]

well i'm out of ideas.... short of cutting seven (which i don't want to do) and reinstalling xp... any other ideas?

Have you tried a no-dvd crack fix ? The problem may be software protection that a crack will bypass. It's not illegal since you have the legit media.

 

[ThePizzaMan]

hm.... got a link for that?

 

[smarteyeball]

You should know better than to ask for an actual link...

[ThePizzaMan]

ok so tried what you suggested, got a new error message. but this time it shows up in the event viewer here is the screen shots

Short of double checking your copy is one of the ones that 'work' (mentioned in that codemasters link) re-installing, and making sure the patch is the same version as the fix, running with Win 98/ME compatibility - TBH mate, I don't know what to suggest from here.
