    What in the bleeding 'ell are you pioneering vista for? If it becomes the soup of the day i really think I might quit using computers. Did you get a developers pack or beta? i won't use it until they squeeze me into it, and probably not then.

    It does nothing for the user.

    But it's sooooo pretty!!!!

    Seriously though, I change my OS' more than my underwear

    And FWIW, if you run the program under XP sp2 compat. mode, it actually works. But - what "normal" user is going to know how to do this on their own??

    Steps for compat mode:

    1. Head over to computer - C:\program files\Pantasia
    2. Right click on pantasia.exe
    3. click properties
    4. Click the tab for compatibility mode
    5. Choose XP sp2 from the drop down menu
    6. Click "apply".

    Viola...it works

    Edit: Works as far as getting a login screen up.....I'll let ya know if the games actually work

    PS: This pic is pretty fitting

    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

    Well, the games do work, but:

    You guys really need to get a new inet provider....I never have any real connection/speed issues, but when I run Pantasia, more times than not the wheels just keep spinning and spinning, until I get the "server connection" popup.

    Also, what's up with this "Please wait 5 minutes to login" if ther's a connection problem? I could understand 1-2 minutes, but 5??? If you're that concerned with "Brute force" attacks at hacking a user's account, then set it to where a user's account is locked after 3 failed attempts. Don't make it where a user has to wait 5 minutes between logins. It's annoying, to say the least.

    The way it is now makes it a little easier for a brute force attack. The person in question could simply set it up to where a username/password combo is only tried once every 5 minutes, and leaving it in the background forever.

    Those windows say "Your game state will be returned..." blah blah, but yet it still deducts the bet, and the wheels keep on spinning. No reset to it. I'm a firm believer of "I don't believe it unless I see it", and I want to actually SEE whether or not a spin actually hit anything, instead of logging back on to see my balance had decreased.

    Also, what's the deal with the bonus rounds? If I'm spinning @ 1 coin per line, I expect to enter bonus rounds at the same price, NOT to be forced to play @ 5 coins per line. If your balance is low, what then? So much for the bonus round.


    Ho hum, let me know when you get all the kinks worked out with the casino in general; not just for Vista.

    It didn't work...

    The user account control (correct me if I'm wrong) only applies to settings to restrict "normal" users' access.

    I did a little sluething, and found this to be true:



    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w.../aa906021.aspx
    Turning off the user control can help on some older programs if the install program calls a secondary program to execute but it gets buried behind the scenes and you never see the option to allow it so the install fails. At times turning it off can allow the install to proceed.

    It is cool you got it fixed, now hopefully you will do well at the slots :-).

    I get this all the time with Vista, I just close it and reopen and all is fine, it only happens on the initial install.

    I've been seeing the same thing this week at DaVinci's Gold. It's a real Pain.

    FWIW, I re(installed) it 3 times before putting it into XP compatibility mode before it would run.

    If you're talking about the connection problems, Vista had nothing to do with that.

    Hello everyone,

    We're working hard on Vista compatibility, and will let you know as soon as possible when a new version is available.

    As for connection issues while playing, we're pretty certain we've cleaned these up. If you have any problems please let Customer Service know, or feel free to PM me.

    I'll keep you posted about Vista.

    Rob
