Default Re: OT: Anyone get MOO2 to run in WinXP?

When you do an install of WinXP be sure to check out the description of the file systems. Such as FAT32 (the older file system such as Win98 used, and is usually what a machine has when its upgraded to WinXP) versus the NTFS which is prefers for a boost in perfomance on large drives (such as machines which are formatted by WinXP get by default).

Thats why when someone says a game wont run on WinXP I ask if it was an upgrade or an install. I have an NTFS C:\ drive for windows OS and apps, and a FAT32 D:\ drive for things like games. No problems, and easier than running a dual os boot.
