Uhh. I don't see how FS1 doesn't work on Vista, since it works on my 64-bit 8GB RAM Vista rig. :nervous:
Yeah that's what gets me... somehow this only happens to me :hopping:

Strange thing is, FS2 works just fine :confused:

I'm wondering: how many bytes is your copy of FS.exe? Maybe if mine's different, I'll know my cd's are corrupt.

Mine's 2,15 MB (2.262.016 bytes) and 2,16 MB (2.265.088 bytes) on disc.

2,226KB, says Windows.

There we go! I knew it :P

Though I don't know for sure if this means my copy is corrupt. Could such a size difference be due to other factors?

Why play FS1 when you have the FSPort?

FSPort is not FS1. The command briefings are different for one thing. Not saying FSPort is no good but if I want to play FS1 I play FS1 not FSPort.

My POS computer managed to run it. Same OS as your second attempt (XP)

My size is 2.27MB and is not corrupt. It's CD as well

Even though I got my copy of FS1 from GOG, it still runs fine on my computer. My computer happens to run on Vista. It did take a while to get it (FS1) working, though.

Check the status of the application with your AV/Firewall. That needs to be in the green first. Next, go to compatibility options. If Vista can do one thing, it can be quite flexible with program compatibility. Right-click for the properties option on the app and apply the appropriate settings. Try a few things... it should work eventually. AND, if it does not, I'll look into my own settings and find preciesly what is making the app tick on my computer. Good luck!
