Title: Fixed ultra-fast popup in Windows 7.
Post by: Coragin on February 18, 2010, 03:38:50 AM

For those of you who were having a problem with Windows 7 and a weird popup issue (It happened so fast you could not see a window or anything) this only happened running UO for me.

I found the fix here on my laptop since I upgraded to windows 7.

1. Goto your UO directory right click on "client.exe"
2. Choose "Properties"
3. Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
4. Click the check box "Run this program in compatibility mode for..."
5. Set the drop down list to "Windows XP Service Pack 3"
6. Go down to "Privlage Level" click the check box there.
7. Click "Apply" then "Ok"

Goto your UOAssist/Razor Directory

1. Right click on "Razor.exe"
2. Choose "Properties"
3. Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
4. Click the check box "Run this program in compatibility mode for..."
5. Set the drop down list to "Windows XP Service Pack 3"
6. Go down to "Privlage Level" click the check box there.
7. Click "Apply" then "Ok"

Goto your Easy UO Directory

1. Right click on "EUO.exe"
2. Choose "Properties"
3. Click on the "Compatibility" tab.
4. Click the check box "Run this program in compatibility mode for..."
5. Set the drop down list to "Windows XP Service Pack 3"
6. Go down to "Privlage Level" click the check box there.
7. Click "Apply" then "Ok"


Doing this fixed this problem and I am confident I will be re-upgrading my main PC back to Windows 7 sicne it did seem to run better.

Symptoms of having this issue:
1. While playing UO there would be a quick pop-up of some kind, so fast you cant even see it.
2. The task bar would show a window in a split second then it would disappear.
3. Seemed to happen a lot more when running any kind of script.
4. Would cause random "Program not responding" for a few seconds to a minute or more.

I hope this helps some of you who have had this problem.

Thanks Coragin. Now that you bring this up I did have this problem about a month ago. It has gone away since then, and I'm not sure what I have done. I just blamed it on the razor update at the time.

But thanks for the heads up.
