The Vietcong system logs show that many players joining the (TRX) Roundhammer server are experiencing the "vchook" or
"direct3Dhook" problem, which in some cases may be due to the use of Windows Vista.
The following advice is replicated from www.AusCong.com; enormous thanks to the site and to the author(s) for their continuing contribution to the Vietcong game community.
