i've been doing this test since the first day in various community sites. Im harvesting a giant list. The games are ranging from year as early as 2000 - 2007. Most of the contributors test games from 2005 -2006 the era of xp. Some wanted to see whethr their xp games works in vista without a patch.
thx can you tell me what did u do to make NFS carbon work ? i tried it many times and doesn't work for me
set compatibility mode (by right clicking the NFSC.exe in the installed directory -> Select Properties -> Select Compatibility tab) to Windows 98. Only works in Vista 32 bits one...the 64 bit ones are unknown to me so far.
18. Civilization 4 and Expansion Haha i have that on my macbook, its the black one and it dosent have a graphic card i play it with the expansion on full resolution without any problem =)
