Vista Compatible Games List So Far
Although I have a fairly powerful computer [Score 5.2] FS X only loaded after
20 attempts usually failing in the last 2%. In desperation I bought a Registry cleaner and at last managed a successful load. Empire Earth 11 still keeps crashing.

Vista Compatible Games List So Far
Where is the awesome "Orbiter Sim." The disappointment I feel for being
unable to participate in this Space Simulation that could teach Flight Simulator X more than a few things? I spent so much on Premium upgrades and second product keys, and I nearly threw it all away over the loss of this simple fantastic game. Is Orbiter Sim and it's community of independent developers beyond the capabilities of Flight Sim's team? I'm so blasted disappointed in Microsoft over this. All these bells and whistles are fine but I want my Orbiter Sim 2006! Any one want to sell me a XPsp2.
