I just ordered a oem copy of Vista Premium and was curious if anybody has installed Eve on the new os and how well it works for Eve. It will be a few days before I recieve it and im wondering if its going to mess with Eve play at all b4 installing it. Thx in advance for any intel.

I'm running EVE on Vista Ultimate. Only problem is that you have to run it with administrator rights. Just open properties and on the compatibility tab, check 'Run as administrator'. After this, you have to click on 'Allow' each time you run EVE.
It's the new user account security system that causes this. Programs are no longer permitted to write to files where they are installed and EVE does this in the cache directory.
It's no big deal and I think EVE runs smoother on vista then xp. Sound works fine too with my audigy 2 zs card after creative released new drivers 2 weeks ago.

If you change permissions on the EVE folder, you don't have to do this - set it so that either the specific account you play eve with has write/modify permissions, or set the same thing but for all authenticated accounts. Works the exact same way as XP - you must have had write permissions on the folder in order to be saving anything, or it wouldn't have worked.

Works like a charm

Why dont you just get rid of the UAC....
Use gpedit.msc and change the windows security settings..

Change these setting at your own risk!!

Playing on Ultimate 64bit, and i haven't altered the right for eve folder, and i don't have to click allow every time..
- standard install, version just before 1.3 patch...
I'm running it in windowed mode, on a dual core CPU (amd X2), and EvE eats up one core completly whenever i focus on the game, but leaves the other core (core #1) unused... no idea if its a bug or a feature ;)
- thats the only "problem" i've seen so far..

Because the UAC is one of the most important security settings in Vista???.....

I would see it as a feature ;)
If it was using both cores at 100%, you would loose the advantage of dual cores making multitasking more efficent.
Anyway, it seems Eve can only use one CPU at time, when Eve was released, nearly no player had multi CPU computer, so that's the way it was made : for single CPU.
