Warcraft on Vista

[Gift_o_Chaos]

I don'y know if this is in the right thread so sry if it is. My issue is that I just bought a new pc from digitalstormonline.com, but windows vista won't allow me to play custom maps in wc3. It is also the only game I'm having difficulty with but it is also my fav. any help is apreciated.

Its in off topic;
You can hardly do something wrong in here.

but windows vista won't allow me to play custom maps in wc3

Only custom games?
Please provide us more information.
Are you possible to start warcaft 3?
Are you possible to play something else?

You can also ask support at www.battle.net and read information at their techincal 'corner'.

usually problems with vista stop you from doing anything at all i would have expected compatability problems stopping all gameplay or application loading, with possible errors, not just custom games.

It crashes warcraft when ever I click on a non-blizzard map, and warcraft is so far the only game that was effected. Although most of my games are relitively new.

Ooo, I'm an expert on this one. The reason it does that is most likely because of the internet connections of other people or something, not the actually map. Windos Vista just plain sucks. For me, whenever I join a custom game it screws up my internet. Vista doesn't like programs, it seems, that access the internet. Blizzard ladder games work fine for me, but that's most likely because they're hosted by blizzard.

You might try to ask expert help at the battle.net forums which can be found here.
