Forum: Geek Forum Topic: Games under Win2k started by: Der_Teufel Posted by Der_Teufel on Sep. 15 2001,23:51
Are there any games or alot of games that still have problems running under Win2k? I've been reluctant to upgrade to Win2k cause I have had no real reason to do it, but I have to now for school. Was wondering if I should setup a dual boot.

Some older games need to be ran in win95 compatibility mode it's an option in the properties, I have only come across one game that won't even with that enabled. As for manditory upgrading that is bullshit no one can make you upgrade you might have issues with office2k vs office97 but not with os's.------------------ Posted by Der_Teufel on Sep. 16 2001,12:08
Yah the upgrading is bullshit. But the Engr College at Virginia Tech requires Win2k. < http://www.eng.vt.edu/compreq/ >

wait another month or two.win xp is the next version of 2k so if you're gonna upgrade, upgrade all of the way. Posted by demonk on Sep. 16 2001,17:00
Why would you NEED to upgrade for school?I have yet to find any game that has any problems under Win2k. It's been out long enough that all the new games are Win2k complient. ------------------ Posted by porn_dealer on Sep. 16 2001,17:16

I think Ill stick with Windows 2000 until Stevie and the crew do something that totally messes with Win2k. Developers...Developers...Developers...Developers...Developers...Developers... I hate to say this but unless you are really having alot of trouble with your system and you feel like calling MS everytime you mess around with your machines you might be hearing Suckers...Suckers...Suckers...Suckers...Suckers...Suckers...Suckers... ------------------ Posted by Beldurin on Sep. 17 2001,12:49
XP = Windows BSI'll be damned if I'm going to use some piece of software that requires me to get someone else o.k. if I want to change my hardware. Big brother, what? ------------------ quote: Never argue with and idiot...he may be doing the same thing Posted by incubus on Sep. 18 2001,00:06

XP is hella stable, looks nice and is clearly an improvement. 95 was ok, 98 was pants, 98 SE got good, ME was diabolical, 2000 was good, and XP is best of all. Hey, they may even be learning. But lets hope the WPA doesnt ruin it. Hell, theres already a crack to get round it anyways, or you can just use corporate edition anyhow. ------------------ Posted by Tattered on Sep. 18 2001,03:17
hmm.. 20\% done corporate.. btw.. I agree with winXP being a lot better then the previous microsoft .. "OS's". In win2000 a lot of games wouldn't run for me because they lacked DirectX support.. but most of the good ones still ran fine. WinXP all games run fine as if under winME/9x.. only with the stability of win2000. It's all good.

I think I saw it mentioned above about corporate versions.The corporate versions don't have product activation. The only time you need a key is when you change the motherboard, processor, or other extremely key part in the system. It's not "I got more ram, let me call up MS and tell them!" |
