Invisible Hawx

Post by Nova Hawk »

Ok, so I just got the new Tom Clancy's Hawx game but for some reason it doesn't appear on my Vista. Like when I go to My Computer, the icon for the game doesn't appear. It works on my XP, but not my Vista. I tried to transfer the setup from my XP to the Vista, but I get an error whenever I try to install it. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks!

Ok, do you mean when you insert the disc, that it doesn't show up under My Computer?

You said it works for you under XP but not under Vista.

So you have a Pc with 2 Systems
1x XP and 1x Vista.
You installed Hawx to the XP Operation System but if you want to play in Vista you need to istall it to Vista Operating System.
Or not?Am i wrong.

He assumed that you had partitions since the fact that your two computers run different OSs could have absolutely nothing to do with your problem.
