Hi

I have acomputer that is RO UN playable since the update which causes your screen to go small.

Whenever I click on the exe to open the client, the client would open, update but when I click start, the setup screen would appear. What ever I click (close, default, apply, the cross) the setup screen would pop up again. So I can't even get into the login page for RO.

This computer is windows vista. I've looked around and people say I have to run and instal the game as administrator? I've ran it as administrator which doesn't work but I can't run the setup file as administrator (it simply doesn't have that option). I've also reinstalled the game 2 times already.

Any ideas? I've tried submitting a ticket, but the ticketing website doesn't seen to be working?

Thank you so much in advance.

When you run it as administrator is there a shield icon on your task bar? If so you have to click that and say press yes

So when you right-click the "setup" program, located in the RO folder, there is no run as admin option?

There should be such an option, and if there isn't, that is a windows issue (a quick google search indicates that there are numerous reasons that the Run as Admin option could be unavailable on Vista)

You're looking at the installer, that's not what you need to run as admin.

You need to run the program "setup" (setup.exe) in the RO folder as admin.

I've removed this link - today's update requires a brand new client executable, and whatever yours was intended to fix, it won't work anymore. If someone replaces their ragexe with that, they will see all empty char slots when they connect.
