Title: Vista-VC:MP problem
Post by: PMP on October 01, 2007, 07:17:36 pm
I bought a new laptop, i  installed VC:MP there, just to do some things on my server, i don't have it connected to the net yet.
But every time I close VC:MP client it launches windows of error messages throe the screen, as you can see on pic.
Can anyone help me to fix it?

Setting VC:MP or SA:MP on my laptop to 98/ME did work, but it messed up the music and some other thing I can not remember. As my laptop has a good sleep mode I just close it letting the program run. ;)

2.Format you'r Laptop with the Vista

3.Install Windows XP

4.Prepare da PC with anti-virus and that shits...

5.Install Vice City

6.Install VC:MP

7.HAVE FUN!!!

Bet It cant Beat Mine :D... mine has NOS

The problem is Vista specific. My best advice is to keep the task manager open and when closing MP press the 'end task'button on one of the screens. This will close them all at once. If your computer is ok for Vista, it will not matter to keep MP running.  ;)

Well, Vista works with most stuff.. If the people that has it are good enough to find solutions for it (not that Im good at it lol)
BTW, if its still about the hundreds of errors popping up when closing, just hold in enter and they disapear..

no they don't, it only closes one error per enter. and even if you hold it they keep poping.
