Going Golfing but not with Vista

That's strange. TW 2005 doesn't work for me - it just hangs after the
splash screen.

I was beginning to think I was the only one with TW problems. I can run it
but all the grass is Black or the 3d part doesn't even display at all. I will
then get a display driver failed to respond message.

EA is a joke when it comes to patches and they probably just don't want to
fix it. Do they really think MS is going to recode Vista for them?

However I feel it's the graphic driver but who knows. I have a nvidia 7950
(something) and a Nvidia chip set so 'm waiting for real drivers from them
before I blame EA.

Until then I will keep on duel booting to XP

First they say it is a MS thing then they say they will fix it in the next
version. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I guess they have to do something to make it different next year.

I too have the same problem with TW 2k7. It was working fine until I
upgraded to Vista. Fear works fine but TW was giving me problems.
I have a P4 3.4g dual cpu
1gig ddr2 ram
2 7600gs video cards

I manage to get into the game by using a no cd crack file that replaced
the tw2k7.exe file (make backup first before replacing) but now I have
to alt-tab out after each holes loads then back in to be able to see
the game.

Thought someone might be able to work with this

Did you reinstall the game Under Vista?
I made a clean install and it works fine!
So try it!

I also found it is better to do clean install of VISTA!
And The Reinstall Everything.

Vista has issues yeah, But still rocks!

Bye
