i guess an install on Windows XP 64-but is out of the question????

The problem with 64bit OS, is they dont run 16 bit programs, AFAIK.
They can run 32 bit, but 16 bit is left behind.

I dont have 64 bit Vista or XP, so I cannot prove it first hand.
But I have proven LB2 runs on WinXP and Vista 32bit.

I just now got Longbow 2 running on a 64-bit XP, so I do not think that it is a problem. LB2 must be a 32-bit application (it was made in Windows 95 era, right?), so the 32-bit emulator that comes with all 64-bit Windows OS's should take care of it just fine.

How did you get it to run?

Yes, Phoneix, how did yo get it to run on V64?

I can get it to run but only in crappy software mode.

LOL, I never read this thread after my initial post. Sorry! I didn't even really have much to offer anyways -- all I had to do was fire up Dgvoodoo, use the CA.ini fix, apply G+'s compatibility database, and put it in Windows 95 compatibility mode. The sim ran great for years of using Xp x64, but one day I fired up LB2 to discover I had some other issues (namely speed) -- they made the autopilot crash me, SAMS shoot at superspeed, etc etc. I never discovered whether an update or driver change broke it, but it did run fine for a very long time.
