I have just received OFF Phase 3 not 1 hour ago And cant make it work Vista 64 SP1 Full Admin privileges 4Gb Ram 8800GT 512 I have tried 2 installs 1. CFS3 Installed H:\Combat Flight Simulator 3 2. OFF Installed H:\OBDSoftware I get this error Followed by this 2nd install 1. OFF Installed H:\OBDSoftware 2. No CFS3 installed just used it for installing required files Same errors as above Now i bought this on the premise that it was Vista 64 compatible and that i have the CFS3 DVD (Ubisoft version DVD) I was unable to get Phase 2 to work on Vista64 so this is the reason i bought this. So i HOPE this is a common problem and can be soughted VERY quickly Regards Mike

Well i surcumbed to reinstalling XP . Before i didnt that i installed on my other Machine that has XP to make sure it worked. And it did. Im just glad i dont have anymore than 4gb of ram eh.. LOL

Actually id like to hear from or if there are any OTHER Vista 64 users that have this and have been able to get it to run straight out of the box. So if youre a Vista 64 person please let me know Regards

Another thing id like to add. Is OFF compatiable with ALL versions of Vista? 32/64 bit? SP1 or no SP installed? Like on the Buy area it says Vista but there are 2 flavours and it dosent say weather or not you need SP1 sr not. Is there anything else i would need to install.. Visual Basic, Visual C++ Or .Net?? Was this tested on a Vista 64 OS? Because i as i stated i have done a NEW install of my Vista 64 Ultimate OS today and i have exactly the same problem as i had prior to reinstalling Vista. I still have this funny feeling that some files weren't copied over because on the 2nd screenshot it says "Error installing OFF Inisalization files" Regards

Ok there are 3 entries in the Layers now OFF CFS3 and Default Tried running OFF in the folder no go.. Still getting the error

Did yeat another reinstall HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Nt\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers and post a reply telling (a) if there are values listed similar to those below and (b) what data value they have Those values "Dosent Exist" in regedit! I can run the cfs3.config.exe in either administrator or not sucsessfully I have OFF installed on my games HD H:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Field\CFS3.exe H:\OBDSoftware\CFSWW1 Over Flanders Field\OFFManager.exe Regards

Ok an update I HAVE been able to get it to run by installing CFS3 to default location and OFF to default location... All on C drive.. I dont like doing that i prefer to have my games and apps WERE i choose to put them. OFF.exe WONT run at all same errors. But if i run the CFS3.exe in the Overflanders folder that works. But obviously not the full game. The OFF.exe is 44meg for a reason! So why one works the other dosent. At this time im extremely frustrated and have shelved it as it has cost me a OS reinstall and a lot of time.. I dont mind tinkering.. Christ i own FS9 LOL. And all other games i run are flawless in execution. I certainly hope i havent wasted almost $65.00 AU on a lemon. Cheers

Well i have turned off User account control so there is no need to run stuff as admin.. But at the end of the day it states that you need XP/Vista. And from accounts it should be configured for Vista yes? + my machine aient that special not overclocked and running run of the mill hardware. Simply frustrating! And i refuse to go back to XP been there done that 2 many times previously for games.

Well i went the extreme. Formated C reinstalled Vista tried OFF still FAIL. Now putting on SP1 i suspect an equal fail.. So not happy. Will contact the Devs and organize a refund. Very disappointed :(

Are you kidding me? 44 looks at this post and no one has some sort of a idea? Should i just pack it up and return to sender? LOL

Oh i forgot.. 1.28a patch was applied and i ran the configurator in the overflanders folder.
