Running Lords of the Rings on Vista






Here is how to run "The Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II" (also valid for "rise of the witch king") under Vista.

Indeed, the game crashes at startup due to lack of compatibility with Vista.

Patch


Download this patch to your desktop:

http://www.filefront.com/9837859/BFME2-RotWK-Vista-Patch/


Right-click "extract all" on your desktop.

Installation


You have to install your game normally and then disable the XP compatibility.

To do this:
Right click on the icon of the game
Compatibility
Uncheck the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for" (this is essential to enable the patch)


Now if you only have "The Battle for Middle Earth II" without the addon (the rise of the Witch King), you do not need to add LSDA files,for the rise of the Witch King.

Then place the folder "The Battle for Middle Earth II" in C: \ [User] \ (your name) \ AppData \ Roaming

I suggest you also install the latest update of the game available here: http:http://www.softwarepatch.com/games/battle-for-middle-earth-2.html
