ok i will try them. yeah it took me 30 mins to get pirates to work on vista cuz i did a clean install and there were 60 updates lol. plus i can't seem to get the screen size to work in pirates. it would crash and so i sent 7 bug reports to disney lol. let me test my screen shots

I use Symantec Antivirus and i use VISTA works fine plus like windows defener you can set it to scan for viruses when your computer is off or at like 3 am in the morning as not to interrupt your computer time.

Idk if the crash problem u have is like mine i run VISTA and EVERY time i log out the game crashes and i get like 4 messages ive just learned to deal with it and press all the buttons until someone says just do this O_o.

I use Mojave and Symantec also (oh Mohave is Vista... if anyone has had a chance to laugh at the latest series of Microsoft commercials yet).

9 times out of 10, end users blame the wrong products on thier systems for thier problems.

They blame everything on the video drivers, but thats likely because its frequently something people dont update. In this case if there are more up to date drivers.. they are probably right.. 2006? hehe

Although I know my laptops drivers have a similar date, and there are NO updates for it.

Hope that fixes the problem up for ya!
