I run this new patch.bat and it still quickly escapes upon running it on ADMIN (64-bit Vista). V95 had this problem, but he never posted back to see if he got it to work...

They're all mine...it should work fine...assuming you replaced the old one with it... make sure it's called "patch.bat" and that you're not just putting "patch.bat.txt" in the folder. Sometimes windows cuts off known file extensions so just make sure that you're saving it right. My patch.bat pauses at the end, so if it just closes the prompt window, you're still not using mine.
*Make sure when you download it that you save as "all files" as opposed to "text document"*

I know I sound even more 'newbier' when I say this, but how do you run a program on the command prompt?

to use a program in command prompt, go to run, type in cmd and click enter, which will bring up command prompt if you do not have a direct shortcut to it (been a while since i used vista, not entirely sure if it is the same for it), then change your directory (if you are not in the correct location of your patch.bat) by typing
cd C:\wherever
wherever being the exact directory your file is in (if you copy the location, to paste it in you must right click and choose paste, you cannot use ctrl+v like normal pasting), and once you are in the same location as the patch.bat, just type in patch.bat (or whatever it's exact name is) then hit enter, and it should run, and will display everything that happened and what could have went wrong.

windowslogo+r (or start...run)
type cmd and press enter (opens the command prompt)
type "[directory of patch.bat]\patch.bat" (be sure to include the quotes)
but before you do all that, delete patch.bat, download mine, confirm that you saved it as a .bat (save as type "all files") file and not as a .txt (save as type "text document") file, because I'm still convinced that you're using the old one.

This. And some people say you should always use right click -> "run as admin" when you want to run the command prompt as admin in Vista
So have decided not to leave but to do some low-level trolling in this thread instead?If you say so...guess this mod isn't going to be as awesome as I imagined
And why are you crying? You wouldn't be able to use the mod anyway :-D
sl1982, do you have any screenies that the rest of us would be interested in?

Well, when I download your patch.bat file, there is no option that says "Save As". I don't think Vista has that option (since I'm using Vista-64 bit). Just shows an option of what program to open it with.

Pfft, it's easy; you just use "Insert Quote", and delete the bits you don't want to quote. :-D The thing is, those long strings of quotes can be quite hard to understand.Too lazy, lol.

I think he means when we quote each other, to shorten it because sometimes we keep on quoting each other and its like a HUGE purple box for just to put one statement, lol.Whats that?Too lazy, lol.Ah, those bolt3 and fire3 spells looked good

well what internet browser are you using? a setting may have been changed at some point (or even just installed a bit off, as things tend to do in vista per my experience... vista is full of holes), so check your browser's options and see if you can set everything to the default, or can easily see anything that would prevent saving. having vista doesn't make things very easy to begin with, i will be with xp until they make another half decent OS that doesn't crash more than ffvii pc before the modders got to it :roll:.
and sl1982, are you doing all of the magic in acquisition order (i.e. the fire/ice/bolt/cure magics, then whichever materia comes next in line), or just at random? it may be easier to just go through the tex files alphabetically rather than chronological game order, because that way you don't accidentally skip a spell or so :lol:. then again, if you are keeping track of all the magic you do, and what is needed, either way works :-D

Just go into windows explorer and look at the patch.bat if it says batch file for type you are good. If it says text u need to go into folder options and uncheck hide known extensions. and then delete the .txt from it

I must second this question :-D
Firefox has right click > save link as, and I think that Internet Explorer has the same
Pfft, the only problem I've had with Vista is the UAC (mind you, that's a big problem :roll
Vista isn't nearly as bad as the people that don't use Vista say it is :wink:
