[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. Trouble wrote: took all the upgrades, even upped my hardware devices. because the more stable the box can be the better it runs. had a few viruses and dealt with them no biggy. however, to do this stuff you have to be on the web for more then just email. Would like to see if someone can get your games running on windows 7. That would be interesting to see what is supported there.

So I may not run my computers the same way that you do, but what I do seems to work pretty darn well for me. Thanks again. BFN Jim C. E. O.

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.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 gaming was Rail Racing for speed junkies.
Hi, That is pretty much what I figured. When I ran the Windos 7 upgrade on my Vista laptop, which of course had already had games on it, I discovered everything still worked. I figured it was simply a matter of installing one of the GMA Games or Jim Kitchen's winkit setup to set Windows 7 right. Until your message I couldn't confirm this was the case, because my system already had the libraries installed before doing the upgrade so it wasn't like a from scratch install of Windows 7 for me. I'm glad the games still work when you do a from scratch instal of the os. Valiant8086 wrote: Hi. GMA tank commander appears to have done the work by itself.

Hi. Nod, my installation, just so we're sure we're on the same page, does happen to be a fresh installation. I have it dual booting with windows xp on a netbook. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 7:46 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 gaming was Rail Racing for speed junkies.

Re: [Audyssey] Windows 7 gaming was Rail Racing for speed junkies.
Hi, Smile. We are on the same page. Between the both of us we have pretty much ruled out any major problems in the future for accessible gaming. My big fear was when Microsoft announced dropping Visual Basic support in Windows 7 it was going to be a pain to get games working. As it turns out as long as you have something like Winkit, one of the GMA Games, it works fine. Plus Mysteries iof the Ancients is already Windows 7 compatible, because I have already ran it on Windows 7 of course. Valiant8086 wrote: Hi.
