Vista Made MDLC Quit Working Also

It was working fine, but about the same time Vista's Indexing Service mysteriously started working again (after I thought it was permanently disabled) my MDLC quit working. I tried re-installing it, but it still does not work. As I recall, there is a trick to installing it that I think I have forgotten. Either that or there is something in Vista that must be disabled before it will work. I know that Vista's UAC is still disabled. Help PLEASE!!!!!!

I hate Vista.

I'm in the same boat as you. My wife installed Vista as part of a disaster recovery plan after our hideous meltdown and now nothing works!! I can't edit cfg's, I can't save modifications to skins or even add aircraft, etc to CFS2 without everything barfing. What a bucket load Vista is!! I love the look of the interface, but the rest is cack.

Yours rantingly,

Thanks for the links, Safn.
I suspect that I'll end up piggy-backing XP onto my system for my CFS2 stuff and using Vista for my day to day operations. I guess that I'm just an ol' stick-in-the-mud when it comes to computers. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is broke, shout and swear at it, hit it with heavy objects and then *** quietly in a corner until my personal Computer Engineer (or wife, as I know her) comes to my rescue.

Cheers,

PomBee.:ernae:

Click to expand...
If I read you correctly...have you followed theses install instructions to the letter?
1.
Install the MDLC MDL Converter Version beta85 (beta117 avail here at outhouse) by Ivan Hsu into a new directory.
The directory should contain all the default files.
2.
Drop the MK_MDLC files (2) into the directory where you also keep all the MDLC files. Make a shortcut to the MK_MDLC.EXE and run.
This program only runs on top of Ivan Hsu's actual DOS-MDLC software. It simply executes the commands in a background DOS window.
 
Yes Hellcat, I have followed them, but I have not re-installed the beta85 file. I will try that next.

I have the tweak guides safn1949, and have gone all the way through them with both of my computers. I am concerned that maybe I downloaded something along with the updates from Microsoft that has caused the indexing program to run despite the fact that I have disabled it in the Services program.

Let me make sure that I understand what is happening. When I open up a window that contains all of the files for CFS2, a green bar starts to creep across the title at the top of the window moving from left to right. When that happens everything comes to a stand still. This is because the indexing program has been initiated, right? If not, what is happening?
