Hey guys, could someone tell me how to get EB 1.1 to function on Vista Home Premium which I am running on my laptop?I have installed a clean copy of RTW but the problem comes when I have to install the RTw 1.3 patch, which for some reason seems to malfunction and not install properly when installed in the default directory in Progam Files/Activision. I happened to try running the EB 1.1 installer without installing the patch but it did not even initialise the installer, just a Dos black box popped up and disappeared.

Thus, in desperation, I turned to my XP desktop and painstakingly copied all the files as they were from my Program Files and transplanted these folders into my laptop(Vista)' s own Program Files directory, every single one including the recruitment viewers and trivial scripts. However, it still does not function now, despite the red RTW screen appearing and the EB screen appearing, it just crashes to desktop still...Help me and advise me on how to solve this problem, I am leaving home to study abroad and not having EB to tide me over there will just break my heart..Please help me soon...

PS : I hear about 32 and 64X and such...what are these and what are user access controls?Do these cause conflicts?How do I overcome the inability of the Patches to run and how can I make vista accomodate EB?Many people seem to have no problems why me?
