Like it says, I've been away for a little while and I was just wondering if there has been a solution to getting custom graphics to work with Vista? That's one of the main reasons I have not been playing and doing a duel boot or installing XP are just not an option at this time.
Oh, BTW...Hello Everyone @ Sylvan Heart!!

Thanks for your replies! Unfortunately, my problem is not connecting. I can connect just fine but I can't see any custom graphics or play paintball and such. If there are no solutions for that problem with Vista then I will just have to wait until I can get XP on this machine.
I'm no Vista expert but... If you can connect using UOGateway but just not get the custom graphics... then that sounds like a UOGateway problem... I'd suggest downloading each of the Sylvan patch files to your computer and manually adding them into UOGateway one at a time using the "add file" button.
Here are the links to the patch files:

You can also try it the easy way... and that is using this address:

If it does not appear as a link you can click "One-click gateway link" near the top left of the forum. It is the same thing ;)
If the easy method doesn't work for you, then try it the other way.
You, my Friend, are my Hero!! 8) I played for a few months this past spring and summer without being able to see or use any customs but by installing all the files manually, I can now see everything. I was getting pretty excited when I noticed how many more files there were than were showing up initially installed. When I finally got them all installed (Yes, it was a tedious pain) I fired the game up and low and behold, I can now see and wear that sweet 6 socketed mask an old friend gave me!! Thanks a TON and PLEASE, for all of those that follow me or share this burden, make your post a sticky and share the great news! Sylvan Heart can be enjoyed by those cursed with Vista! Now, if I can only find a way to get Roller Coaster Tycoon to work on it! ;D
Now I gotsta go relearn all me hot keys before I can go after the big bad meanies out their!! ;)
