Not sure if this is the proper spot, but here goes..
My 15+ yr old desktop running Xp s*** the bed on me finally (man it lasted a long time though), and i got a refurb Win 7 from a local store for 140$ or so..
After installing BF2, and tring to get my sound/vid card switched over, i had issues on the cards (till i finally said X it and removed them). Now the Win comes back in, its Not letting me run BF2, even refuses me uninstalling it...
Anyone know what might be wrong? _________________ Confucious sayeth, don't wash cat while drunk! |

From checking it out, its a sound-compatibility issue, and since i don't have two head phones to jack in, to get around it, i am kinda borked. and the bugger of it, is TieVs Xwing won;t also work for Win 7... Even in compatibility. So i need to find a way to install a virtual drive with say Win 98 OS on.. _________________ Confucious sayeth, don't wash cat while drunk! |

Yea, i know about gog. Might have to bite the bullet and use them, since it seems it might be easier that way.. But it will mean buying the games again... _________________ Confucious sayeth, don't wash cat while drunk! |

An alternative to that is updating to Windows 10 — I have, and I very occasionally play the Steam version of Battlefront II with no compatibility issues.
It did crash to desktop once. _________________ Also known as Kiss My Wookiee on Discord and Reddit. |

With some of my other programs (Ad&d's core rules, Heavy-metal pro for battletech) having issue with Win 10, i would rather not. _________________ Confucious sayeth, don't wash cat while drunk! |
