I have been told that the games sold here are really great, but before I buy I would like to verify that I can play them on my computer. I see on the main game listing page that you indicate that they can be played on XP, but when I look up a particular game XP does not seem to be listed. Can I play these games on an XP OS?

Agreed. I've had no problems whatsoever. -------------------- A few cats short of a kitten pot pie... Radioactive cats have 18 half-lives.

The good point about shareware (i.e. all games found here) is that you can download and play them /before/ paying anything. (of course you need to pay to get the full game, but you'll see that it works long before that). Many games do not 'officially' support XP because microsoft says that XP is not 'officially' compatible with certain older graphics and sound systems. However in practice it works fine 99% of the time. And if it does not, try checking microsoft.com for patches. -------------------- Pieter Simoons, aka Radiant Official Crystal Shard and SubTerra webpage Posts: 798 | Registered: Monday, December 17 2001 08:00 |

Throw away your WinXP 'home editition' and install Proffessional one. That will save lot of your 'psihealth'. And never buy anything with 'HOME' mark from MS. "be sure to check from the Settings that Sounds are enabled".--rofl [ Saturday, August 02, 2003 07:51: Message edited by: +t ] Posts: 23 | Registered: Friday, August 1 2003 07:00 |

First of all : all music[and graph too] files IN main executable. And all of them *.wav. This means that it's VERY low chance that ALL music files corrupted. This means, that there is your computer configuration problem. Anyway on my WinXP Pro[ p2, 128 RAM, old sound, i740 video chipset] I've never ever have such problem. Last note: there is almost impossible to answer to your question until no one have access to sourcecode. Only Jeff have, but he not too often look for his messageboard . ------ From Russia - with love. Or may be you wish to fight?

How much memory do you have. XP requires 64, but it really needs 128 just for the OS. That might be your problem. -------------------- "We can learn a lot from crayons. Some are short, some are dull, some are sharp, some are tall. Some have funny names and they are all different colors, but they all learn to live in the same box." "Happy is the man that has wisdom and gets discernment. For having wisdom as gain is better than having silver as gain and having wisdom as produce is better than gold itself" Proverbs 3:14-3:15 The horrible part about life is, you'll never get out of it alive.
