thats it, i need some pointers on whats the process to make daoc run on a friend's comp with windows 7.

i just burned my current install and copied into his hard drive, but the daoc launcher says there is an error on rendering after trying to update the catacombs.exe or running the game.

i read something about making the game runing as administrator but i dont really know how to.

noobish on windows7 praying for help :D

Win7 64bit Home here - I had to put it(portal.exe and camelot.exe) into winxp sp3 compatibility mode for it to run. I get some funky mouse stuff here and there since I run in windows mode, other then that it seems to run fine.

no idea what is wrong there, but for me it was simple.
i switched to windows 7 64bit from xp and still had DAoC on the second harddrive. just needed to set up daocportal and it could update and ran without problem. daocportal needs to run as an admin though (to update itself at least).
