Will SEIV Gold run on an XP machine?

No problem with mine either. And I don't have to use the compatibility modes either. (SEIV Gold 1.84)

Yes, and FYI, right click a game icon, click properties, then compatibility. This should help older games to run on XP as well.

But I also had no problems with any game under XP yet : SE, Gothic, Age of Wonders... Next I will try SMAX again, that could be a small issue.

Bill Gates and the CD of Power

Of course, we have to have a Lord of the Rings reference:
Recently one of my friends, a computer wizard, paid me a visit. I mentioned that I had recently installed Windows on my PC, told him how happy I was with this operating system and showed him the Windows CD. To my astonishment and distress he threw it into my micro-wave oven and turned it on.

I was upset because the CD had become precious to me, but he said "Do not worry, it is unharmed." After a few minutes he took the CD out, gave it to me and said "Take a close look at it."

To my surprise the CD was quite cold and it seemed to have become thicker and heavier than before. At first I could not see anything, but on the inner edge of the central hole I saw an inscription, in lines finer than anything I have ever seen before. The inscription shone piercingly bright, and yet remote, as if out of a great depth.

"I cannot read the fiery letters," I said. "No," he said, "but I can. The letters are Hex, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Microsoft, which I shall not utter here. But in common English this is what it says"

"One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them
One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

When I tried that with my Windows CD, it just turned into a puddle of goo...
