Greetings & Salutations...
Has anyone tried the Campaign series games on Windows XP? Do they work OK, or am I going to have to keep my W98?


Cheers,
Ray

Thanks Major Major...
I am going to be getting a new comp soon, and I was just wondering if I was going to have to carry more than one OS. I doubt the new comp will help me to beat you, but I can only hope!:D

Cheers,
Ray

Krink,

I think you're in good shape to beat me now. Save the money a buy a good bottle of booze instead ... that'll help me beat you! ;)

I just installed East Front II on my windows xp machine and after the scenario menu was dumped back to desktop with the message that window 2000 ((?? or NT - already forgot which ver. was mentioned) was not supported. I will try compatability modes and check back in later.

still no luck with win98 compatability - was dumped back to desktop even faster and the error message flashed past to quick to read.

Don't forget to patch the East Front II to 1.02 standards, unless you're using the World at War East Front II.

You can find the patch at http://www.talonsoft.com

Take care and good luck

Yep, the patch and windows 95 compatability mode did it. Not sure which. Probably the patch.

Do you know about the expansion CD available from the Blitzkrieg wargame club? PB#1?
