Conquests Vista Problems

[BoomtownRat]

I'm trying to run Conquests on Vista, however I keep having a problem regarding the unit lists.

Whenever I try to right click for the menu over a city, the list goes off the screen in both directions and I can't access the first four or five entries (i.e. I can't get to click on those units, even with scrolling and shift). I've tried changing the resolution and adding KeepRes=1 to the ini file, and that doesn't work. Any one have any ideas? Other than that it's pretty much okay, it's just enough to make the game virtually unplayable.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. Only way around it that I've found is to wake all the units and fortify the ones you don't want to use until you get to those that you do want to use.

Well, I can't say for sure if this will help... but Conquests would have random crashes to desktop, among other strange things unless it's set to compatibility mode for XP. You can access this from the properties of Civ3Conquests.exe, on the compatibility tab, set it to Win XP (it may be Win XP Service Pack 2, etc). See if that fixes the problem up.

It's currently running under compatibility mode. I still have the problem regarding viewing the units. I can't tell if it will crash or not due to myself being unable to play it.

I'm having a similar problem in the editor. When I go into an edit page (i.e. civilizations), the page is to big for the screen and I can't see the bottom. I've tried changing the screen resolution and that didn't seem to help.
