GR & Vista Home Premium

[Sgt Rufas 0]

ok, got new computer running Vista home premium. GR installed and works fine EXCEPT I cannot change weapons from primary to secondary. Tried the re-do my keyboard commands, but I canot change anything. Stuck with default or my husband's custom keyset over from his game. Either way, cannot change weapons.

Looked all thru this forum and have not come across anything like this (117 pages takes quite a while to browse)

thanks guys.......

Right click the shortcut, left click properties

Compatibility tab, run as administrator.

This seemed to help the profile in other games as the Program files directory is protected and even the administrator on a vista machine doesn't get all admin rights.

I haven't tried GR1 on Vista but that will probably work.

Thanks Roco but that didn't help. It did reset EVERYTHING I had set up in GR and I had to re-install all the mods again (not blaming you). Still banging head against wall. Thanks again

Alright ... this is a longshot but i still think it has to do with permissions to program files. Try reloading GR1 to c:\ubisoft\Ghost Recon (whatever the default directory is minus the program files) You have to do that with the expansions also. That will make sure it's not a Vista permissions issue.

Ok, I am officially pulling out my hair.....

Uninstalled GR, re-installed GR and then NECESSARY PATCHES (1.4 patch and DT & IS disks - must have these for other mods to work). All other key commands work EXCEPT to change weapon. I cannot make any keyboard changes to the keyboard layout. Installed remaining mods and still nothing. Down to thinking that there may need to be a patch for Vista but unsure. Want to write Billy boy and tell him is new OS SUCKS!!! Still got 3 more days that I can take this junk computer back and still re-use my old one..... Just a thought.

Thanks again

GR and and all mods work fine on my Vista system ? just installed to the default diectory. what mods are you trying to use ?

GR and mods run ok on my vista home addition? they are just insalled to the default directory.

What mods are you trying to use ?

Mods work ok, game is ok EXCEPT I can't change key commands and I can't change weapons from primary to secondary. All other commands work except this one (have set to the ` key).

Still pulling hair from head

I use the same key it maybe a stupid question but does that key work in normal key board opperation ?

Also check through your list af key commands just to make shore that there is not another function assined to that key ?

Thanks but did that. Stareted with default key setup and nothing, went to my custom key setup and nothing. Checked every single key command to make sure that key was not assigned to anything else and it is not. Just about ready to give up and just go single weapon all the time (which really sucks sometimes).

thanks for all the help... I really appreciated it....

I had this problem running Vista Ultimate. I actually had to 'assign' the ` key in the options menu. Works now.
