Max Payne & Windows Vista...

Dark Prowler · 07-26-2007, 02:15 PM

Is there any way of getting Max Payne to work on Windows Vista? I hadn't played it in such a long time, so thought I'd reinstall it, but I can't get the darn thing to run properly!

It installs fine, starts up fine, but as soon as I try and begin a level, it just crashes.

Any ideas, guys?

OK, after patching the game to v1.05, I can now begin the first level, but there is no audio in the cut scenes or graphic novel sequences...

Switch back to XP.

Vista sucks with older games now, face it. Try dual booting with Vista and XP together. Even try microsoft virtual PC.

Well this guy seems to have fixed it. Try it and see if it works.

Even if I ever switch to Vista, I'll still have a XP version installed on my system! Do that!

He, I still have my Win 95.. so noway to sell it, and my xp either.. It's like Wii bein compatible with GC games, anyway if I had both consoles I wouldn't sell my GC... or my PS2 if I had a PS3, or my xbox if I buy a 360..

PS: Just to make it clear, I don't have any of the consoles named before, just my win 95 and my win xp and some old stuff..

that is fairly obvious as else you would have known that wii is really compatible with all GC games (unlike the other 2)

well it also happened to me, that's why I reinstalled XP rather than use Vista for games
