Ok "user account control". Well, I have all the priviledges while running LFS, and now I also enabled "XP compatibility mode". I will see what happens.

Quote from stjuart :

I run everything on vista ultimate 32bit version and lfs runs perfectly fine. What ever issue your experiencing is either, other software or hardware conflict on your parts. Also disable uac that is one of the main reasons why people have a lot of problems. I can play old games such as fallout 1 and 2 more recent games such as rFactor and lfs just fine. Also if you have an nvidia video card that may cause a lot of issues for you on vista, i have an x1900xt and everything runs flawlessly, except for stalker running slower becuase the developers are morons.

Sorry but whats the uac?? umbilical artery catheter? unaltered augsburg confession? undergraduate advisory committee?

And yes, I have an nvidia board... shame on me? lol

Guess nobody else is having this problem? Does everyone else plays on XP?

Quote from AndroidXP :

Guess you have to downclock your CPU so LFS uses a higher CPU % and is thus recognized as active. Or you disable the screensaver. Or even better, you throw away that pile of crap OS.

Im running it with "administration privileges" what else can I do to force Vista to recognize it as a running software... furthermore, a software Im interacting with?

i am playing LFS on a vista. tho its not old i got it like 3 months :/

Which are your settings for screensaver and power management? is it setup to turn of the monitor automatically at a determinated point?

Quote from Bodhidharmazen :

Thanks to Renku and Harjun, I will try that about running it as administrator.

Done it. I was in a championship race and then, Vista turned off my monitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What can I conclude?

VISTA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE LFS AS A RUNNING PROGRAM

Thanks to Renku and Harjun, I will try that about running it as administrator.

I have a problem with LFS and Vista. The game runs like charm, no complains, but... my monitor goes to sleep after ten minutes!!! (pre determined setting on my Vista).

Why on earth doesnt Vista recognize that Im doing something?? (Im racing, and the last thing I want is a black monitor that makes me crash).

What can I do? I know what some might say:

"Dont use that power setting with Vista"

But this is not an option, first, because my computer is on the whole day, and I want to extend the life of my monitor.

Secondly, because its a problem with LFS not being recognized by Vista as a running program.

Thanks.
