Hi...
I instaled Windows Vista Ultimate yesterday and can say it look really nice. I was excited so I decided to play Jagged Alliance 2 (1.13) (who doesn't like to play JA2 under excitement?), but when the game started it had a graphic problem...
The screen looks like the resolution is to high for the computer...
Here are the things I tried:
-Change resolutions in the game;
-Disabled/enabled V-Sync;
-Changed compatibility in the game proprietis.
Plz, someone help me, I can't go too long without JA2... tnky

First of all, Red_dot, you might be experiencing a different refresh-rate, rather than a different resolution. You'll need to describe the problem in more detail if you want anyone to give you a good answer, but one thing you could try is forcing the game to use the correct resolution. This isn't too simple to do, although if you've got an ATI graphics card on your machine, you could try opening the Catalyst Control Center, having a look around, and trying to find the option that forces all programs to use the same refresh rate as the desktop (this is usually around 70-75hz for good performance on most screens). This will resolve the issue if what you're seeing in JA2 is the screen flickering very quickly (like it's shimmering lightly, gives headaches), which means the refresh rate is too low. If the game tries to change the resolution of the screen, then fails and crashes (or simply doesn't load properly), then the problem could be worse, although you COULD try changing your desktop resolution to 1024x768 with 16 bit color depth, and seeing whether or not the game will load (sort of set your entire computer to the same resolution as the game, so it doesn't have to switch...).
Very interesting to hear if any of this works, although a permanent solution to Vista may soon become a neccesity to this project...

Guys I can say for sure that JA2 does indeed run on vista. After I got over the inital problem of not being able to change the INI it worked for me with out any problem. I have no idea how i fixed that but it worked its self out. I Havn't had any major problems running games on Vista for the most part. The only problem I ended up having was I updated nvidia drivers and coudln't deal with my moniter but that wasnt vista related.

I too have vista. I ran the 1.13 mod. and everything worked fine UNTIL i checked out Bobby Ray's. Everytime i try to scroll through his inventory the game crashes. Is this v1.13's fault or vista's. Any fixes???

)))) Looks like your pc is on an acid trip. 
, I will have to wait for a fix and for JA3 (if that doesn't work in Vista, I'll kill the creators!)...
