Hey guys.

I'm not sure if this is a unique problem, but I recently got Microsoft's Windows 7 release candidate, and ever since then, whenever I connect to a server online, all of my Renegade graphic settings are reset to medium, and resolution to 800x600.

Anyone know what's up?

Run it as admin? I had that same issue on Vista, except it was the controls.

I was already running as admin but that didn't do anything.

I fixed the problem though. I needed to run the Renegade Config in admin mode.

Thanks a lot anyway!

Yeah, that was going to be the next suggestion.

Glad it's working again Very Happy

To write to the registry a program must be in admin mode, as the settings are stored in the registry...

Only in Renegade's case, since most programs don't store registry information in the LOCAL_MACHINE area... blame Westwood! Confused

HKLM --> Software is where I find lots of programs' info... Just me? Meh...

I would personally avoid the registry in case of wanting to create something that was portable, nothing wrong with config files, anyways.

Microsoft has been urging people to store stuff in HKCU since before Windows 2000. Developers weren't listening, hence why things have been breaking when Vista finally started following the rules they established a long time before...
