Hi
I am trying to install freespace2. The file validation shows up and runs through, then it disappears and nothing happens. There are 2 freespace processes running but nothing seems to be happening.
Any Ideas?

Hi
Due to Vista feature called UAC (User Account Control), Vista checks every exe file before it runs. Therefore this delay occurs.
There are only two solutions for that:
- disable UAC in Control Panel, but you must be aware that you will disable it for whole system
- be patient, depending on your computer speed, this process can take some time. on bigger files (like 2gb setups) it can take up to 5min.
Best
