Windows 7?

[DRG]

We have had one report sent to Shrapnel about this.

I'm testing WINDOWS 7 RC (not the download, but the DVD that MS supplies partners).

DL-ed the SPMBT game and patches OK. However, when I was installing V4.0 and V4.5, when I hit EXIT on the last Install window, a message came up saying that it may not have installed correctly. It had a "REINSTALL USING RECOMMENDED SETTINGS" option, which fixed it.

But, I didn't know if you'd tested SPMBT against W7, yet.

If you haven't played with it, it is a good OS. It's running faster than XP ever did!

Thanks!

I'm not sure why the 4.0 and 4.5 patches behaved differently but from this one report it does seem like this version of Windows may be game friendly but we'll know more in a few months

Hello all !
Newcomer on this forum but having been playing SP then WinSP for a long time, I still play it a lot, and like many of you bought a new computer with Vista (no comment...) and upgraded it to Windows 7.
Got no loading/installing problem, never play intro, but in Vista like in Windows 7 I have fuzzy colors when launching the game, whether from options or directly. Used the tricks described in the Vista problems forum, which worked well with Vista, but no longer so well with Windows 7.
I found a solution, quite boring but which works : 1- stop Avast (that's the one I use...). 2- go to config panel, screen resolution (or whatever it is called in English, being French I use a French version), and modify it, 3- try to launch the game. If it doesn't work, try from options panel. If it still doesn't work, modify resolution again and try again. In the end it works. I told you, quite boring, but it's all I found. Hope it will help, and if you know an easier way, I of course am interested (even if I love modifying resolution every 10 seconds...).
