How many times to install...

[Slartibartfast]

Aaaargh... this is annoying so far have reinstalled OFF 8 times and each time a new failure, I really really need to get flying... patience patience... another reinstall will be on the cards tonight... Damn you Windows 7...

I'm using Windows 7 and have had no trouble with OFF. Have you tried any compatibility settings when you install it, just in case?

Thats what I am doing this time round it keeps screwing the Maps up... but I will continue and defeat it... and then I will fly the entire war in a Bristol Scout and get 500 victories... Okay I will accomplish one the other I am not so sure about...

When you can beat Windows, you can beat anything, Slartibartfast!

 

PS: has Win 7 a possibility to fly OFF in Windows XP mode, perchance?

Win 7 does have XP compatibility mode (just like Vista) but I have never used it for OFF.

I also didn't need it - just thought if it might help Slarti.

I had some trouble with it, which was caused by using a "no cd crack" for CFS3. If you used such a creature make sure you get it out. It will screw up all sorts for things randomly on install, including the maps. The problem I had was it was still in CFS3, so if you have other installs make sure it is eliminated from those also. When reinstalling make sure you have taken out the old user files, they are not in the same place as they were in XP so you will have to search for them (make sure you have show hidden files).

 

Anyhoo, that is what caused the problem for me, I had not used the "no cd crack" until just before upgrading to Win7, and only did it then on a whim. Go figure huh? By the way it will also screw up the ability to upgrade your vid drivers.
