Problem starting FFH 2.032 on Vista

[Masishu]

Hi. I got a pretty annoying issue with FfH 2.032i. It will start after an installation but has about a 80% chance to not start ever after unless I delete the mod and reinstall. Not even the square loading screen shows up. It also prevents Vanilla and BTS from starting also when it happens.

Restarting doesn't clear the issue. So far, only deleting the mod, restarting, reinstaling and loading from BTS screen works. Is this a known issue?

Game versions:
- Civ 4 (Direct-2-Drive) version
- BTS (also D2D) w/ 3.17 patch
- FfH 2.032 w/ "I" patch

Computer specs:
- Intel Quad Core 2.2
- ATI Radeon HD
- 3gb DDR2

Can anyone help with my problem?

welcome to cfc

Do other mods start fine?

All the other BTS mods start fine and cause no issue.
I seem to have found a solution though. Running as Admin after it has failed to launch won't work, but always starting as Admin seems to work properly. *grumbles about silly Vista quirks*

Thanks for your time though.

Figures, 1 minute after mentionning everything is fine, the silly Vista won't start FfH even as Admin.... Problem is still live

It might be worthwhile to find the Civilization folder and enable full security clearance to it and all sub-directories. Right click on the folder, select Properties, go to the Security Tab and edit the general users entry to have all boxes checked. Make sure before you apply the settings that it is marked to apply the setting to all subdirectories.
