There is something very clever going on in this OS. CFS3 on this hardware under XP ran at perhaps 30fps but with some stuttering. Under Vista it is 60fps+ with everything maxed and smooth as a babies bottom. If anyone has this sim gathering dust in a cupboard it is well worth dusting off and trying again.

I asked a question "Has anyone had success playing Lego Racers on Vista?" I recieved a response from James29 saying "It works in xp sp2 compatablity mode on both 1 and 2". Unfortunately, I'm not real computer savvy and do not know anything about Vista's xp sp2 compatibility mode. I tried to look for it on windows help, but could not find it. Can more information be provided. Thanks. --...

Does anyone have a way to allow AgeII: Conquerors to run multiplayer? I can't host or connect to a lan game with a Vista computer. It appears to time out. When connecting to a different computer hosting the game, it will show up on the screen as the player name on the hosting computer but any selection for team and race won't show. After a while, it says it could not join. So far, I...

Any time Mahjongg Titan sees a saved game, it offers to resume play. The problem is that the program forgets to delete the saved game (or even update it). So every time you start the program until you save a new game by exiting the program, it wants you to replay that game. After a while, you start remembering the game and don't want to play it. But you can't just start a new game as that...

I'm a pretty new user to this forum, and i joined mainly for one reason. I need an answer, why does Vista ruin so many great games. After playing several games, some old some new, I can only notice one consistent theme..issues with my games. While some issues may be attributed to games themselves, i am however finding a very aggravating connection between my new laptop and vista and a huge jump...

According to my statistics, I have spent between 3,151 seconds (ie 52 minutes 31 seconds) and 9,932 seconds (2 hours 45 minutes 32 seconds) on my highest scoring games. Since I have never spent longer than about 30 minutes on any game, where do these bizarre timings come from? Is there a bug in my system, or do other people get these weird results? -- IainADMcIntyre

I am encountering a graphics glitch in all card games (Free Cell, Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire) where the card the cursor is over will highlight, and the card usually to the left of the cursor will have a blinking highlight around it. It's similar to what happens when you request a hint, but constant instead of momentary. I also have problems with the drop down menus going spastic...

To be more precise in tracking performance of each unit and delegating responsibility, Microsoft reorganized into seven core business groups—each an independent financial entity—in April 2002.
