[Playing Online Games w/ Vista]

[Rhombus]

I recently got a new quad-core computer with 4gb ram, 1gb video card, and is running on Vista. My only problem is that I cannot play any games online.

I first installed EverQuest 2, but it will not load because it cannot connect to the server. Then I installed Battlefront 2, when I load or play it, it works great. But when I goto muti-player, it cannot find any games.

To solve this I tryed both on my old XP, they both worked. Then I tryed turning off my firewall and adding the programs to exceptions. Didn't work. I then tryed running it as the administratior, didn't work. I then try turning off all Anti-virus, and Defender. DIDNT WORK!!!


Whats wrong, and why can't I play online games?!?!

I hear Phantasy Star Online still works on Vista. Try it out, i think its free now.

Well, it isn't I cannot find Vista compatable games, it is that all online games don't work on my Vista computer... Or they dont work online... And online games, or MMORPG (like EQ2) are my favorite gaems so... Yeah...

If anyone knows what is wrong, or how to fix it please help!

This may actually be the wrong forum to ask it, just because of the lack of Vista users. I have both Vista and XP oon dual partitions, but I rarely ever use Vista because my internet card is incompatible with it.

Sorry, i fixed it a couple of weeks ago. Dumb nortan had a bunch of crap stoping it, I basicly disabled everything, but it is worth it. =P
