In contrast, RRT3 will not run at all on the new Vista desktop (Compaq Presario.) Tried every possible combination of version and compatibility setting, lots of patches, etc. No good.
I can't explain it, but it just works on the laptop. No crash to desktop issues, either- although it has a minimize to desktop issue at random times.
what video cards or integrated graphics type (and video driver versions) do these computers use? I'm interested in knowing what card/driver combinations work with Vista and RT3 patches 1.05 or greater and which don't and also which versions of vista (32 bit / 64 bit, home basic home premium etc.)
Also other hardware may have a bearing - if someone can get RT3 working on vista its not vista itself where the problem is but in the hardware or drivers being used or in RT3 itself. In fact if patches up to 1.03 work and 1.05 and above don't RT3 itself is the likely problem.
