[GR] on Windows 7

Hello all,

Has any body succeeded in running Ghost Recon (including Desert Siege and Island Thunder) under Windows 7? I constantly get the message "ghostrecon.exe has stopped working", whatever I try (compatibility mode, disabling full screen,...).

Good question!

I'll try this out tonight.

[GreyHaired]

Runs fine in the Win7 Beta version - haven't installed the RC1 yet.

I installed this OS on a different partition, with dual boot XP/Win 7.

I removed GR from the XP platform.

[=EP_Geez]

What build are you on? Windows 7 Beta,Windows 7 RC1,Windows 7 RC2

Have you installed the latest Directx?

Have you tryed all compatibility modes?

I am on windows 7 RC2 Build 7201 and its running fine

Try downloading Windows 7 RC2 build 7201. If you are still having problems tray dual booting with windows XP

[CIT_Fox]

Apparently, the build of WIn7 I'm running mentions "Evaluation copy. Build 7100" on the desktop.

I've tried updating video drivers, directX, ... and all compatibility modes, but the same error keeps popping up.

Try re-installing it to C:\Red Storm ect

If it's under program files it's protected and it can't save as you won't run there as full admin. But under the C drive you can. That way your save games aren't redirected into your user profile. See if that works.

[CIT_Fox]

Try re-installing it to C:\Red Storm ect

I already tried both under Program Files and in the user/saved games folder, but none of these seem to work... I'll try out your suggestion though.

-Fox

[CIT_Fox]

Installing to "C:\Red Storm ..." doesn't fix the problem. Could it be caused by Win7 being build 7100 instead of a newer one?

-Fox

[Sgt. Atoa]

Just installed the game and is working fine......I'm using Windows 7 RC 32bit

I can confirn that 3ds max is working on Window 7 (impossible with Vista) unless you have versio 8 and up
