Vista-Screenshots/Video
« on: August 22, 2008, 11:37:18 PM »
I just changed to Vista and I cant find any video/screenshots that I take. I ran a search for the "films" folder that is located in the HTC main file, but it does not exist. Is there a permission setting that I am missing? I would really like to know where they go.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

3)  Where are my files and folders for the game? 

Vista, by default, places all files and folders created after the installation of any program in the "Program Files" directory into a virtual store directory.

It's a new feature of Vista called 'User Access Control'.  Vista hides the folder from you, but you can find it, for example, in C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\HTC\Aces High II, where username is replaced with your Vista login ID.  The folder AppData is hidden so you have to manually type it in the path box.

If you want all your files back where they used to be, then you would have needed to run the game installer using a right-click and selecting "Run as Administrator" option.

After that, you would have to right-click on the Aces High II startup ICON and select "Run as Administrator" every time you wanted to run the game, unless you set the game to "Run as Administrator" all the time.  To do this, you right-click on the Aces High II startup ICON, and select "Properties".  Under the "Compatibility" tab, select the "Run this program as an administrator" option,  This will make all the game folders and files to be stored in their normal path locations.

However, any files you had before will not longer be used.  So you may want to copy the folders and contents of the UAC path above to the original root folder location of Aces High II before you set the option to run the game as an administrator.  This will preserve all your settings.

Another upside to checking the option to run the game as an administrator under Vista is it will allow the game's auto-updater to work correctly.  Vista blocks the creation of any executable file in the game's root installation folder unless it is run as an admin.  This prevents the auto-updater from working correctly.

Please keep in mind, we have no control over these new features.  We cannot change options in your operating system configuration.  All we can do is try to provide ways to work within the framework Microsoft decides to give everyone.

To get my degree I wrote a 983 page structural analysis of the Sydney Opera House (it weighs 11,500 tones, not tons, by the way), and that wasn't nearly as complex as figuring out how Vista "works". :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

thank you.

if you start aces high as administrator your shots will be in the HTC folder. Right click on the AH2 icon, you will see run as administrator, just go from there. if you still have problems check your Flock button.
