Anyone haveing diff with 1.84 and WinXP Pro? My game keeps crashing.

Can't say as I have. My trouble was playing pre-gold games after I installed Gold in a different directory. I kept getting all kinds of errors whenever I had to deal with my fleets so that basically screwed me into oblivion.

For anyone from Big Huge Political Game, Alpha Centauri, or Enormity, sorry guys. The Etaru shall rise again!

Run it in Windows 2000 compatibility mode by viewing the properties of the executable or the shortcut to it and selecting the Compatibility tab.

I had no problems with WinXP Pro and se4gold any patch. Got back to Win2k for other reasons though...

Been running Xp Pro with SE4 since I got SE4 and haven't had any problems.

Well, for those that do have problems, running the game in win2000 compatibility mode fixes those problems.

Not every install of an OS is the same. You do not always experience all of the common problems of an OS with your install of it. Just because you don't have problems running SE4 under XP does not mean that others can't have problems.
