I have a question

[Krayzie]

So I am looking at buying a new computer. But I dont know how Windows 7 is compatible with oh say, ET and games like that. So If someone could enlighten me about this, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

ET works at Windows 7 I'm not sure, but I think it works only on 32-bit.

Works perfectly on 32 or 64 version... sometimes you need as C@nos said to run program as admin

 

you can also check a video I made here http://fearless-assassins.com/topic/6853-et-is-having-some-technical-difficulties/page__view__findpost__p__72584

I'm using Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and it works without problems, only OS exception notice shows up at random but restarting PC solves it.

Everything works fine with win7 32 bit for me

As far as I could say, literally every game runs under Windows 7.

Save for DOS games (which go fullscreen and Win 7 doesn't allow that), but luckily DOSBox fixes that!

But yeah so far everything I tried designed for XP worked.

Oh, stop kidding me.

Designed for XP as well as for Vista, but yeah, since Windows 7 is using the same kernel as Vista did (though in an improved way), Vista games work as well.

it's not as if you can't put any operating system on a new computer.

 

sure if you buy a computer at stuff mart or dell, it's going to come loaded with the newest OS from microsoft -- but you can easily dual-boot or just wipe it and install XP or something.

 

wether ET will run on win7 shouldn't be the deciding factor in whatever machine you are looking at lol.

Yus what this guy said =D (except for diablo 2. There is always problems running that game on anything higher than vista)

Diablo 2 should run well in a Virtual Machine, either a proprietary software or Windows' XP-Mode.

[*FEAR*ME*]

Games will work on windows 7, I play ET on windows 7 now and havent had a problem yet.

 

As for windows 7.. if you arent used to windows vista or windows 7 it may take a little bit of getting used to.

 

But there are alot of cool features on windows 7
