SB Pro PS v.2.62 problem

[Ironhat2]

A couple of years ago i bought this version of SB. Installed on a pc with Windows XP. Everything worked fine.

I recently had a gaming pc built that has Windows Vista hp 32 bit.

I loaded the game and ran into the code meter error. DL the runtime 32 kit with the help of WIBU and now the game boots up.

The only mode that works is Tank Range and the offline missions.

Instant action mode: Error could not load height map.

Tutorial: the only thing that works for all vechiles is step 20, multi units.

Map Editor: wont open, nothing happens when i click on it.

Misson creating: When i click open i get an error msg: error creating jpl image. Then it loads. click on map and then choose a map and get the same error. can go no further.

I dl the update patch for 2.62. It wont install, get msg from windows thats says its the wrong patch for the installed program or program to be udated is missing. I get no chance to see what path its taking.

Deleted the game and checked to see that there were no SB files then reloaded it. No changes same problems are there.

Please advise whats happening to cause this.

Your install is way out of date. I would read through this and see if any of the suggestions help you with vista: http://www.steelbeasts.com/sbforums/announcement.php?f=17
