Vista & FS9 ?

Postby gypsymoth » Tue May 01, 2007 2:48 am

Will fs9 run satisfactorily on Vista or should I stick to XP ?

There is a little program that you can download that will check your system out to see if you can switch to Vista without any major changes. I ran it out of curisoty and had fs9 installed at the time and it reported no problems other than some older program.
You can find the system checker at the Microsft Vista site.

I'm doing it with no problems.  Just make sure your Vista drivers are up-to-date and you have enough ram.

If you wish to do the very same things you do in WinXP, but needing triple CPU power and memory amount to have comparable speed, then by all mean buy and use sVista (or, as it's been christened lately, WinME II). ::)
