I just installed cmud on my brand new Vista Ultimate machine (E6600, 2gb ram, evga 680i mb) and i can't open cmud. I get a crash right off the bat, indicating "Error accessing the OLE registry.". I'm thinkin a couple things. First, I selected the "my games/cmud" directory for pkg files and such. I can't seem to find this directory in vista... Second, I think i might have one bad stick of ram as I've had 4 blue screens of death so far, however as a consolation, I've removed one stick (to test which is bad) and havn't had a BSOD since (I removed that stick prior to installing cmud. )
Any help would be appreciated.

Well... There are several posts around talking about Vista and Cmud. Not sure if any of those peeps had Ultimate or not. Seeing Ultimate in your heading I thought your computer may have exploded or something. First thing is to attempt to install it with the run as administrator option. As for your "my games/cmud" directory it is supposed to be in whatever vista calls your "my documents" folder. If you look there and cannot find it I would suggest uninstalling Cmud and Reinstalling it with the run as administrator option. Apparently being logged IN as Administrator doesn't mean much in Vista Confused

I've seen this before on a beta build of vista on my laptop but not lately. try running it as an administrator - right-click CMUD icon, select 'Run as Administrator'
I'm on Vista Ultimate too on a far lower spec machine, not had a single problem

I unintstalled it and reinstalled it... when i did I selected the cmud file as the save location for .pkg files. it worked. Then I uninstalled that, reinstalled, and selected the mygames/cmud option... this time it worked.. Sooooo Long and short is that it's workmng now... yay!
