I personally would recommend 98 or 98SE out of that list; some people are having problems with XP and 2000, and ME is basically just a slightly buggier 98SE. (although it works fine for me; it is what I currently use)

What problems does XP have? Runs fine on mine.
Will you join the testing list when you get your machine back then?

FS2 runs fine under XP for me, as does every other game I have.

98SE and XP

I have had some small errors with XP, nothing major though, and it can usualy be resovled by exiting the game and restarting it.

98 Here, although I uninstalled for a format and lost one of the CDs... haven't had a chance to try it on the GF4 yet. It worked fine with my GF2 though.

Win XP for me. Soemtimes I have to restart the game, but rarely. Linksys wireless internet is a ***** to use, you have to get a certain card that works only with winXP.

The Amiga Workbench and the Commodore 64.  No, seriously I run it ME, and soon to delve into the world of High powered graphics with a new GF4.  My poor old TNT2 Ultra wasn't keeping the pace anymore.

Some hardware incompatibilities and such, but that is just what I heard over at the VBB.

Sure. What exactly are you working on now?

i've had no probs running in xp, or even 2000 before that, after i got a new video card. With my old VooDoo 5 there were not proper drivers for 2000 or XP so it didn't run well then except in 98se.

  • Windows 2000
  • Windows Me
The following are good OS's:
  • Windows 95

All MAC OS's are crap. I hate MACs. :doubt: I have to work with them all day... :mad2:

At least someone has taste :) Funny thing is that I still haven`t seen anyone on this board who is running FS1 on amigaOS. There are some people out there doing it :)

I'd have to disagree with Win2k being a buggy OS. If anything, I'd have to say that WinXP is buggier - I've had more compatability problems with it than Win2k, probably because whereas Win2k flatout rejects an incompatible program, XP tries to accomodate it, even if it won't actually work.

Having said that, I haven't had any problems running FS1/FS2 on either Win2k or WinXP. But my personal system uses Win2k, with no plans to change.

The best OS around is DOS 7; faster and far more stable than any type of Windows. :D
