Little backstory, I have been running decal with virindi tank, make it, and go arrow on my Vista64 machine for months with no problems.

So I decide to try Ac Dual Client on my Vista64 machine today. I have used this app on many machines over the years, never tried to install it on anything post Windows XP though until today.

So I install it, I set it up the same as I always did previously, but it doesn't work. So I get annoyed with it after failing to find any help information on VN (Does the search function on VN even work?).

Now when I start up decal, then AC, AC will load, but decal doesn't show up in game.

Does anyone know what I need to do(outside wiping my HD and reinstalling everything without Dual Client, which I really don't want to do) so that I can use Decal again?

Thanks for any information!

Look at the post a few below this one from Losado. He has a link to a new dual client that he just released. You should be able to uninstall ACDC to get decal working again.

So far I have completely uninstalled AC:DC, uninstalled Decal and reinstalled Decal, and Decal still will not load ingame.

read the very FIRST sticky on this board it has info with links to items needed and post 4 in the thread has step by step instructions for setting up/running under win7


YES, i read you are running vista, but vista has tons of problems (running Ac/decal ect) and your best hope is setting up as if it was win7; e.g. don't install to the default directory make a new one, set properties for decal/plugins to run as administrator (EVEN if you are logged in as admin account).


oh and yes post a decal export. there could be some very important preqs not installed by vista that you need.

This is what I did to install ACDC on my son's laptop that is running Windows 7:

Okay, I got ACDC to install and I'm able to run two clients at the same time.

Here's what I did:

Installed .NET 1.1
Installed .NET 1.1 SP 1

When I installed both of the above I received a message stating that there are compatibility issues and would I like to continue? I said yes.

Right Click on ACDCClient.exe and "Run as Adminstrator."

Installed under C:\Games\... instead of C:\Program Files\...

Allowed access for the clients on the firewall alert when that popped up.

When I start ACDC I get a message that says:

"You currently have Process Performance Counters Disabled.

ACDCDualClient requires Process Performance Counters to be enabled for it to function properly.

Would you like to enable Process Performance Counters?"


I select yes and away I go. happy
