Windows 7 Windows 7 hates Rainbow Six Vegas 2?

[SecretAznMan83]

Hey people, I've been using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit for a while and I must say that I'm very impressed with it. However, there have been a couple of issues that have bothered me. My biggest problem lies with playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Basically my problem is that I cannot create a game nor join a game (well I can join and create but 60% of the times, it fails to create/join). I don't get any problems in Call of Duty 4, CS, CS:S, CZ, Left 4 Dead, and all my other games. It's only Vegas 2 that I'm having problems with. Now, I'm also dual booting with Windows XP Pro and everything works fine on it (even Vegas 2). So, anyone have a clue to why it's just that game that *bleeps* me over? I know that there have been many issues with Vegas 2 but I thought I'd post here for a clue, idea, hope, etc. I have tried changing my networking properties, checked to make sure my download/upload speeds haven't changed, disconnected any extra peripherals, restart both my router AND my cable modem and have not been TOTALLY successful. Also, youtube vids load slower on Windows 7 than on Windows XP for me. My guess is that my computer/router/cable modem isn't sending as much as it is receiving. My computer specs are:

- Biostar T5 XE motherboard
- Intel Core i5 750 cpu
- Ultra X3 850W psu
- 4gb ddr3 G.Skill memory
- BFG GTX 260
- 1TB Samsung Spinpoint HDD
- 250gb Seagate HDD
- LG dvd burner

personally I never had any issue with Vegas 2, one of my fave LAN games, can only suggest check firewall is properly configured as well as any ports on router. Prehaps making a custom rule ont he firewall to allow the ICMP pings for v4 and 6 may help.
