Not working on Vista

Post by Eversor »

I have Vista Home Premium, 2gb mem. I installed it, then go to play, and it acts like the CD isn't in the tray. It says "Windows NT is NOT SUPPORTED for Warcraft III." under the Play Warcraft III button. Any way to fix this problem? I'm using an original cd with original cd-key.

Edit: I also get a trojan alert from AVG when I run the game, very weird.

right click the icon and try using compatibility mode as win xp. Of course, I am not too sure if vista has this feature, but try it.

I have UAC turned off, I don't need to set anything as admin anymore, besides it won't let me. And yes, I've reinstalled it twice.
