Hi!
I have recently installed ACT 3.0, after removing 2.5 on my Win2000 SP3.
This 3.0 version is quite different. It doesn´t have any qfixapp and I just can't make any shortcut to an exe with a compatibility mode or fix!
I can only enter in compatibility administrator tool (CAT), create a new compatibility database (.sdb), because the system ones are read-only, and save may game fixes in this sdb file.
However I must always enter in CAT and run a fixed program from there to make it work!! It's annoying!
The sdb should be integrated in the system somehow.... so that I didn't have to always start CAT to run a fix!!
Now I'm thinking in uninstalling 3.0 and go back to 2.5...
Could anybody give me a hand here?? I mean, its just me or ACT 3.0 suxs?
Thanx

Hi again Dosfreak!
I uninstalled ACT 3.0 and apparently all went fine (no errors). I say apparently because a lot of files remained in ACT folder, and a lot of keys in the registry.
I ran ACT 2.6 I downloaded yesterday but it says that a newer version was found and so it won't let me install!
I then used Norton Utilities 2003 Windoctor to remove all registry entries ACT 3.0 related. It found a lot and I think it removed all of them. I also deleted the ACT folder from program files.
I reboot the PC and again try to install ACT 2.6. To my frustration is gives the very same message: Newer version found!!
I looked to the monitor for a few minutes without knowing what to do...
I then tried to install version 2.5, I had in backup in a CD.
It gave no problems at all and installed fine. Works fine also. But I can't, no matter what I do, install 2.6!! Weird... I thought the file was corrupted but ii it asks where to install is because it passes the CRC check, right???
Weird stuff....
Any ideas????
