Hi Folks,
David Greenwood has a fix for his DirectSound issues, however he is still
adding features to the game engine so hasn't released a patch for Shades of
Doom Tank Commander and my Sarah, Harry Potter game yet.
The beta test version I have makes sounds pann better on Vista, Windows 7
My point was more that there's no software that was made unusable by win7 that
wasn't originally written for windows 9x. Essentially that all xp software I
can think of runs on win7.

Thanks for that thoughtfully worded post, and you are right. It is a

Hi John,
I wouldn't say that. I can think of a number of programs designed for
Windows 9x that won't run on Windows 7. I can think of a few XP
programs that had to be upgraded when I got Windows 7 as well.
For example, when I got my desktop it came with Nero 6.5 and Power DVD

I think it's a catch 22, especially in the case of the remaining games started

upgraded from XP, and those who have not.

there is a problem with your thinking though. The Windows 8 tablets do
not use Intel compatible processors in many cases they have Arm

processor.
