Hi,

I've recently built myself a new computer, and I'm having trouble installing Renegade. Immediately after launching the Setup, the application crashes with Vista's standard 'Setup has stopped working'.

I have tried running the setup under every available Compatibility mode, and using 'Run as Administrator' to no success. I have also updated my DirectX, and installed all Vista updates. I have tested the disk and disk drive in another computer (Running XP) and both work fine.

Any suggestions on solving this issue? ("Vista is crap, get another OS" isn't helpful...)

Specs: Intel Q6600 2.4 Quad, 4GB 800MHz RAM, 1GB ATI HD4670.

Regards,
thefriggi

I think the real issue might be "64bit".

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

I can run Renegade on a 64-bit Vista - it seems to be luck of the draw, although I'm using the same processor and a similar graphics card.

Bah, solved the problem. iTunes prompted me to re-install a Sound driver, which I did. After which the Setup loaded with no problems, the game is now installed and running brilliantly.

I didn't think a Sound driver could have this sort of effect. Perhaps a useful suggestion to others having problems with Ren/Vista.

The setup uses a directX accelerated 3D thing, including sound, faulty drivers would cause this. Thanks for telling us.

*adds to list of things to suggest*
