I have no problems running games on Windows 7. Tried COD4, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, World in Conflict, FEAR, FEAR2, COD-WAW, FC2 and so on and so forth hehe..
You should try Win7. I like the UI very much and did I say it's not resource hungry?

Anyone use either of the systems and had any problems??
What are people playing on either of the 64bit platforms?? |
Im running 64 bit Premium and I have not had any trouble at all. Most comanies are making everything Vista compatable now or vista was made simular enough to XP to allow it to run. The only annoying thing is that for most downloaded games it asks for permision to play. I think they should make a "Always use this choice" like they did back in XP. Also need to make an override for unsigned drivers. I know that Microsoft is trying to keep us safe, but it becomes a pain when you cannot force the PC to do what you want.
Better than a mac anyway. lol |

I run most source games in -32bit mode, as i found 64 bit mode made HL2 crash when loading saves. other than that, i haven't had any troubles, and i'm running Vista Ultimate 64.

|
|
I googled and this was one of the websites I came across, with its concerns about Microsoft Seven and games.
I have just upgraded tower and OS to Microsoft Seven and am a bit frustrated. So far I can't play Pax Imperia 2 Eminent Domain and the Civilization 4: Beyond the Sword Planetfall mod with Seven and can't find out how on the web I may do so. I have a stack of games on my shelf at least some of which I fear may have the same terminal problem.
I am not terribly impressed with the Seven compatibility program which seems unable to mimic earlier MOS OS as far as I can see for an increasing variety of games. I was previously on XP and never had these problems but I guess Seven is still so "out there"?
Still, the course of true love and computer upgrades never did run smooth.
Live long and prosper. |
