***ONLY ON 32 BIT****


Here's the guide:


Install Decal, upgrade it to the newest version (which I'm sure you already did).


Install Dual-Client, and make copies for as many clients as you need (2-4 or however many you plan to run on the given computer).


Then go into your AC-ToD directory, and right-click your acclient, and click on properties, and go under the compability tab.


Make sure it looks like this:





Now, do this for ACClient, ACDCClient, & ACLauncher in all your directories (this means make sure to do this on your copy of Client 2, 3, & 4).


Then right click on your AC Dual Client on your desktop and click on "Run as Administrator"


This error will pop up:





Do not worry about the error, you can still get Dual Client to work, basically ignore it.


You should be good to go, and it should work after you have done all of the above.


When you go to run AC Dual Client, also make sure instead of double clicking it, you right click and say "Run as Administrator"


******


If you receive this error while running running LT:


14:50:34 [LTxi] An error has occurred.

Error #: 339

Description: Component 'mswinsck.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid


Do the following:


Start-Run-cmd


Once in the command prompt type in:


regsvr32 /u /s mswinsck.ocx


Let me know if it works/doesn't work.


If you are having any problems, reply here I'll answer.

Although Vista is a horrible OS, this guild is great!


Thanks for taking the time to post this

For window mode, just set it ingame, and it will stick, if anyone is having issue with it being fullscreen only.

ALT+Enter should toggle you between Fullscreen and Windowed Mode if I remember correctly.

Are you right-clicking on ACDual Client and selecting run as administrator? Instead of double-clicking?

I had the same problem and it turns out some OS patch modified the c:\windows\system32\perfc009.dat file and corrupted it so I had to restore it.

Luckily I had another machine and simply copied it's perfc009.dat file over and after a reboot it worked fine.
