Hi people,

I use Windows Vista Ultimate, 1,5Gb of Ram, P4 Prescott 3.4Ghz...
ATI Radeon X800 256Mb...
And when I try to start UFO:AI I receive the error:

"Couldn't register windows class"

I know that error is when we not have the 3D drivers, but I have!!!
I play COD, NFL2007, Age 3, Flight Simulator X, and all perfect...
Anybody help-me?
thanks a lot.

Emerson

do you have aero activated? please try to deactivate it.

which version are you using (ufo version) the one from http://mattn.ninex.info ? if not you should use it - otherwise you would not be able to save games.

please let me know whether you encountered any more problems (if you get ufo to run) - because i did the vista patches without owning vista. it would be nice to get some feedback,

Yes, I have aero activated...
I have the UFO 2.0 RC6, from sourceforge, the full pack...
From that site (http://mattn.ninex.info) you think that version is better to me?! (2.1?)

Now, I'm work (I live in Portugal, GMT), but at nigh I will test it.

Thanks a lot.

yes - that version has some file-save-patches for vista included - with rc6 you won't be able to save a multiplayer team or a game state (at least if you are not the administrator - which you should be)

That version (mattn..) does not work in vista.. when I try start come to message "this programs not responding" and don't open.

The normal version (sourceforge) don't work too...

there was a wrong zlib1.dll packed into this installer. replace the zlib1.dll with the one from zlib.net or grab this version of hte installer: http://mattn.ninex.info/download/ufoai-2.1-dev-win32-r6697.exe

thanks again for testing this for vista

well...well... I make a download of full package (rev 6697)

I'm very sad... does not work again...
Now I receive the error:

"NSIS ERROR

The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
This could be the result of a damged disk, a failed download or a virus.
You may want to contact the authot of this installer to obtain a new copy.
It may be possible to skip this check using the /NCRC command line switch (NOT RECOMMENDED)."

and the OK button...

I make the download 3 times and the same... and in the two last times, I make the download in my home, where I have a 24Mbits of link...
Not is a problem in download.
:(
