im thinking of buying this game because I have Oblivion for the 360. does vista work with morrowind on the pc?

why doncha just buy it on xbox... more fun trust me

not really. More fun on PC trust me, you get to use mods

SJ, i got both xP but on pc i like wanna cheat first second then i get bored -.- xbox i cant do that so its more suspensful imo.

Edit: this is supposed to be about the PC vista thing remember? yaya umm idunno who can answer that question =]

I really don't know, but you could try compatibility mode.

If there was a way you could try it first it would be great, cause then you could use the compatibility mode and try it out. If Vista has Compatibility Mode...

Anywho, the way to use the compatibility mode is (and you can use this on ANY program as long as the tab comes up) :

1. After installation, right-click on the desktop icon and select Properties

2. In the Properties window, click on the tab that says Compatibility

3. In the Compatibility sub-window, click the checkbox that says "Run this program in Compatibility Mode for:"

4. The drop down menu below should become selectable now (no longer grayed out) and select Windows XP (if its there, if not then try Windows 2000) Do not select NT, some programs have issues with that version

5. Click Apply

6. Click OK

7. Try starting the game through the shortcut icon on your desktop and have fun!

I'm hoping that Vista has this option, its saved my bacon with tons of games that would be slow as molasses running under normal Windows XP (Septerra Core, Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, Myst to name a few) and I had to change the setting to either Windows 98 or 95

Oh, and be careful if you "Alt + Tab" your way out of the program while in Compatibility Mode, it could mess it up a bit when you re-enter, so try it out first only after using the Quick Save just in case. Or after starting the game, but not selecting your char stats yet, just to be on the safe side and not having the frustration of: "what did I have set before!?".

I cant seem to get it working on vista and compatibility modes dont seem to make a difference

im running it on my vista laptop
have you tried to run it as administrator?

I PRESS ~ AND IT STILL DOESNT WORK

yes it does and by the way to use cheats you have to press the button above tab =]

Incorrect.

DO choose NT compatibility mode.

I don't know about Morrowind, but my old windows 98 games require that mode to run. Win 98 compatibility mode does nothing. Neither does XP mode. NT mode for some reason does, though it's completely illogical that it should.

That's using Vista by the way.

And note, compatibility mode is usually useless. You just get lucky occasionally.

Hi.

I was having major issues with Vista early on but then I got a patch/auto-update on the graphics card and it works fine now.

HP Pavilion dv6330ea laptop

1. Processor: Intel Core Duo T2350 - 1.86GHz (x2), 2MB L2 Cache
2. RAM: 1024MB DDR2-667MHz
3. Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce Go7400 supporting 256MB TurboCache Memory (128MB Dedicated)

I'm running Morrowind on Vista Home Premium with NO problems. Don't even set it to a compatability mode, or to Run as Administrator.

It works on my vista laptop but didnt seem to work on my vista desktop and they where both running the same version of vista. Strange.

seems to me this kind of stuff has to do with how compatible your graphics card is with vista. that always seems to be the issue

Same here. On my old XP computer the cheat-button always worked, now...it does nothing. *got used to loads of healing potions XD*
