Default Does SEIV run on XP????

I am thinking about *possibly* upgrading to win xp and am wondering if there are any known issues.

I have never had any problems running SEIV on XP. I run it both at home and here at work and I never even had a single bug come up to work out.

In fact, I have never run SEIV on anything but XP.

I recommend upgrading to win 2000. XP is crap and not worth the money. It is win 2000 + garbage + BS + crappy interface + bloatware - several good layers of computer maintenance organization schemes - user restriction settings other than admin or totally restricted. All for a lot more money than you could get 2000 for these days...

Same here. I've ran SEIV And Starfury on XP With no problems at all since august. The only errors encountered are when the game just freezes up occasionally (typical windows though)

I tend to disagree with Fyron if he talks about the professional Version which is quite a nice piece of work IMHO.

oh my ........

*shakes head*
what happend to the KISS prinicple??

and XP pro rocks.
there is verry little I cant run on this. the only times I have had problems are when the installer desides that it doesent like the os, but you can usualy get around that by using the compatabilty modes. hell, I have run old DOS games under XP pro (with dos box so it probibly dont count)
ill admit, I havent used 2000. and many of the annoying interfaces can be changed to the classic Versions.

But wait until Windows Longhorn is here. See if your (okay, mine too) petty calculators can run that OS

Longhorm requirements
