Hi. GMA tank commander appears to have done the work by itself. I couldn't run a vb6 program, monkey Term, so I installed GTC, and boom, gtc worked, as did monkey term. So I'm pretty sure at least that particular audio game will take care of that for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 5:47 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Windows 7 gaming was Rail Racing for speed junkies.
Hi Trouble, In many cases that is true. I know when I upgraded one of my Vista computers to Windows 7 public beta 1 it ran a heck of a lot smoother and more stable than Windows Vista. Plus they finally fixed there driver database issues in Windows 7 which is a relief. As far as getting Jim Kitchens games to run on Windows 7 they seam to be running just fine. I'm not sure if that is because I ran the upgrade over Vista or if Windows 7 still has some essential backwards compatibility support, but they are working on public beta 1 at least. The newer BSC games that were upgraded to Vista, the GMA Games, etc are also working. From what I can tell if they work ok on Vista they should work ok on Windows 7 provided you have the complete VB 6 libraries installed, and the older DirectX 8 libraries installed.
