Re: Compatiable Games
It does depend, but generally most of them will be. It totally depends on
the game manufacturer, but some of the older games that don't require an actual install such as Counter Strike and Half Life work perfectly  )-- Zack Whittaker » ZackNET Enterprises: www.zacknet.co.uk » MSBlog on ResDev: www.msblog.org » Vista Knowledge Base: www.vistabase.co.uk » This mailing is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Re: Compatiable Games
Thats difficult to determine, 16-bit games of course will continue not be
compatible with 64-Bit Windows. Some 16-bit games will probably also not run under 32-bit Vista, as Zack noted, get in contact with the Publisher to find out about compatibility. -- Andre Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Arden Williams" <willia73@morrisville.edu> wrote in message news:eLEJM2kXGHA.3444@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > What older games will be compaitable with Vista > |

Re: Compatiable Games
Yeah, your best bet is to make sure the publisher/developer of your fave
games knows you want to play them on vista, the more people they get wanting to play it on vista, the more likely it is they will ensure it is fully compatible.

Re: Compatiable Games
This may sound strange, but is it possible for it to be RTM'd twice? We know
that Vista Business will be available in November 06, whilst the rest of the editions being made available by January 07... so could it be RTM'd twice? -- Zack Whittaker » ZackNET Enterprises: www.zacknet.co.uk » MSBlog on ResDev: www.msblog.org » Vista Knowledge Base: www.vistabase.co.uk » This mailing is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
