Xpadder does not work in games after updates to Vista

Post by crewes20 »

Hello,

I downloaded some updates to Windows Vista last night and now XPadder does not work with Hearts of Iron 3. It worked before downloading the updates by using the run as adminstrator option, but now it does not. Do you know what is wrong here is the list of updates: Internet Explorer 9, a new driver for the X Box 360 for windows controller, Windows live and updates for the Graphics card I have. Also I downloaded the xpadder program and reinstalled it but it did not help. If you can help thanks!

Hello,

I solved the problem by right clicking on the game and going to properties and making the game by making it compatibe with Windows XP or by checking the box "run as an adminstrator". Anyway the Xpadder works with the game now.

Thank you for sharing that solution.

One recent Windows update is the Application Compatibility Update - it's possible that the game or elements of the game are now running correctly and are blocking Xpadder. Running the game in XP mode reverts to the original running state.

Are you having problems with any other games also?
