Hi. Apols if this has been asked loads of times before, but I'm no pc tech. My PC is a core 2 duo, 4GB DDR and 896MB GTX260 graphics. OS is windows 7, home premium 64.
I've not yet tried loading EAW up, but don't want to mess things up (think I may have tried a long while back but no result) - should EAW be able to run on my system and what's the procedure for best results?
Hope ok.
Thanks for any advice,
DoctorW.

(Ps - asking same ? iro IL2 in that section as getting poor results there also - want my fix of flight sims!!)

Hi DoctorW, welcome to SimHQ

I'm not an expert on this but.. here we go: disable UAC of your W7; do not install the game but copy the content of your cd to a new folder and then go to this link to download the latest version and follow the instructions:

hope it helps

sorry my bad english!

Thx - np re english - seems pretty good to me .
Scuse my complete lack of pc skills / knowledge lol - Disable UAC? - What's this, where and how?
Thx again,

Andrew.

UAC is the Windows User Account Control, used in both Vista and Win 7.
By default it is set to "on". If it is "on" then it prevents software from writing to your disks without your knowledge. So when EAW tries to write to its own "eaw.ini" file UAC will not let it and EAW crashes. This problem does not occur with UAC set to "off".
Do a search for it in "Windows Help".

Thanks for replies :-)
Re graphics cards and "Bits", ie 8 / 16 / 32 / 64 - do I need to do anything else to get the fgame running on win 7 64 bit, or is it just the UAC / load up that is an issue?
Cheers,
DoctorW
