Problom Installing YR on Win7/Vista X64
Ok, Im DaTS's brother, im running Windows 7 and Windows Vista (Ultimate on both) X64 Bit. I found out hot to install TS on Windows 7 by running it in Admin mode, i was able to do the same with Firestorm and Red Alert 2, but now it will not allow me to even get into the installer for YR, and yes i have tried compatibility mode. Still no luck, so does anyone know how to help me with my little problem here?

Try secruity settings as well under the properties, giving everyone and everything full control.
If not luck and you still wish to turn off user account control (not recemonded if you surf the internet a lot, it could save you from trojans like me), you can go to control panel, secruity, then secruity center, other secruity setting on very bottom, and you will see user account control. Turn it off and you will never again need to run things as admin. Though neither does bad software need permission either. So you may want a good anti virus software ;) QUICK_EDIT

anywho, yeah, I have the same problem. I can't run it on 64bit Vista or 7. Gives me a string error? _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT

Set the compatibility mode to W98/ME. Should fix that issue.
Installing the games REQUIRES admin rights so just disable the UAC for the PC and your issues should disappear. _________________ KGR | AT

I did that though. It still does it, which is weird. I even tried 95, XP, and such. It was just.. i dont know. weird. I didn't have any trouble on my desktop at all. just my laptop. :/ _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
Yeah im guessing windows just hates people in general, but i have it working by removing all that admin shit and running everything as admin. works great now. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
On either OS I never had any issues, I run it as Admin all the time.....and never once did I change the compatibility... Am I the only person that never changed the compatibility to anything other than stock info and just ran as ADMIN???.....64 bit runs fine for all games no problems what so ever _________________ I am authorized to send out the TMP Studio, PM ME IF YOU WANT IT And check this out, these were sent to me for help with terrain and zdata help along with TMP Studio/Builder

it be what i do... Changing compatibility and secruity settings help, but running as admin usualy fixes 100% for all 4 vista computers i owned in a life time -.- QUICK_EDIT
I run as admin myself, but only because I'm not a ztyping moron when it comes to PCs. _________________ KGR | AT
