First off, I am new to the game and looking forward to getting stuck in as ultimas 5,6,7+serpent isle where pretty much where my childhood dissapeard.
Unfortunatly when attempting to patch the game so i can get going I keep on getting error messages and the game refuses to patch. I have hunted around the offical pages with no soloution and am currently waiting for a reply from ea.
I think it has something to do with windows vista
Has anyone else had this issue? is it fixable?
I have also noticed that windows vista wont let me manualy change files like ini files etc and i think that this may have something to do with it.
cheers
A bit annoying as after finaly deciding to brave the oldschool community with my noob like powers am gutted that i cant play

Its an issue with the "user access control" function that vista has. Obviosly enough you have to disable it.
