WoW on Vista? - 05-18-2007, 09:54 AM

Yeah, no games work for me on Vista either...its mostly because of Direct X 10 and hardware acceleration is turned off by default. I've tried to find how to fix it, but no one knows
I'd tell them to **** Vista and go back to XP.

Did a little research. Checked on a few sites. WoW works perfectly. For BF2, you need "Punkbuster" As for CS, Valve suggests this: * Adding publisher details to steam client/game executables. Will help in publisher verification at Vista security checks. * Using CTRL-SHIFT-F9 to turn off Desktop Composition will be extremely helpful.

So you are good to go, get Vista!
