MXvsATV Unleashed I guess doesn't work on Vista

[Mxrider36]

I even tried the patch and it still freezes up at the racing starting gate on Vista

It works for me on Vista, I think video drivers would be a good place to start to find a solution.

You could always try the compatibility setting's by right clicking the game's exe in the installation folder : MXvsATV.exe and choosing properties, then the compatibilit tab then choose "Run this program in compatibility mode Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

I had the same problem MX and I had to do both things that Fixer suggested above. It works for me now and hasn't hung up since. I am running it in compatibility mode AND 'run as administrator' (that is mostly usefull though for the editor or any program that isn't strictly written for Vista that stores unique files on your computer...or at least that's my experience). Check it out and let us know if it works for you or not please.

im gonna take a fiew days installing the games back in after I format my Computer so i can Creat a Dual Boot So this way I can Run XP on D:\ Partition and Put Vista on C:\ I rather do this instead of placing Vista on D :\ because MY PC is still under Warrenty From Dell and PC factory installations,  I believe Factory CD's only work best if there on the Same Drive Letter I believe.

Games I Will enjoy more if there in XP instead of Vista and I will have a better Chance to Remove in the future Viruses or such if i can use a Different operating system that would be messing it up. Wont have to worry about safe mode eather if I scan for virusese on the different Operating system on a different Drive ..

By the way this is my Dell Laptop i'm gonna do this on.

It didn't start working for me in Vista until I did these patches.

I didn't have to use compatibility mode.  Latest video drivers didn't help me until the above patches were applied.  I have a BFG 7800 GS OC video card.

I found out i coulden't install XP From inside Vista.

So, i tried to install Win XP pro from a CD system Booting up but found my self not being able to Get back into Windows Vista after installing WinXP, So now all i can do is Boot up into Windows XP while still having Vista on my C:\ partition drive, My XP is on D, But I won't delete my Windows Vista to I find a way to get Vista to boot while having XP.

By the way When I go into my MX VS ATV Unleashed PC game  I can't figure out how to Unlock the Suzuki MX Bike.. I have Unlocked all the National Tracks but the last 2 while racing championship National Difficulty (HARD) mode then unlock all the SX championship SX (PRO) Difficulty Mode but still can't understand why I can't Unlock the ((Suzuki)) and when I try to see if i can find it when typing in the TOOLAZY Cheat i still don't see the MX Bike but when i went over to my friends House he unlocked it somehow.

By the way I sometimes login from inside the game into Gamespy under the name MxRdr36 to play MX vs ATV Unleashed ..

By the way I guess i should also add to this Post that I Broke my MCM2 CD by accudent ... But befor i formatted my PC to partition it to Dual boot I Copied the Game From the C:\Program Files\Motocross madness 2 Directory onto my USB Firelight Drive And got the Registry keys, I hope I got the right ones to get the game to Run with out it saying to Re-Install the game. I Got it from HKEY_Local_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MOTOCROSS MADNESS 2 directory.

just boot-run the vista cd and choose repair , fix the boot , and you should be able to dual boot

[Mxrider36]

Cool.. its usually always a simple task isn't it hehe.. But Wai't My Windows Vista I have is only a backup operating system CD that came with my laptop ,, but i will still try it thanks buddy!.

[Fixer]

The backup CD doesn't have the repair option-I think....
The best way to set-up a dual boot is to install XP first but I've read the Vista CD will repair the boot record that XP wipes out.
Maybe you can get a friend to loan you the DVD.
