3.0.4 not booting

i know this is the area for 3.0.2 but there is none for 3.0.4, so here i go...
i try and boot Hog PC 3.0.4 on my vista machine and it tosses up the flash screen and says "Unknown exception"

i'm running a Dell Studio 1737
Intell Core 2 Duo CPU P 8400 @ 2.26Ghz
4gig ram
32bit op system

is this too powerful for hog pc to run on?

    i do understand the frustration created when a fresh installation crashes, immediately.

    the 3PC installer does a terrible thing to your registry; HES will recommend disabling UAC and running as an administrator.


    the more prudent way to make this work is to assign an appropriate set of permissions, as follows:

    open the registry editor (regedit.exe)
    navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Flying Pig Systems
    right-click the Flying Pig Systems folder and choose "Permissions..."
    click "Add..."
    type in users and click OK
    check the checkbox to allow Users Full Control
    click OK
    run 3PC as expected.
  • Blue Herbert,

    As Quinn said we will make certain recommendations to allow your Hog 3PC to function on Vista. These are detailed in a TechNote linked on the Hog 3PC download page. Here is a direct link to the TechNote:
