#2753011 - 06/28/09 09:29 PM B-17 FLYING FORTRESS-THE MIGHTY 8TH-COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA?
CHUCKP SimHQ Junior Member Registered: 06/28/09 Posts: 3	Is this game: http://www.amazon.com/B-17-Flying-Fortress-Pc/dp/B00001OWYQ/ref=pd_sim_vg_3 compatible with Vista as is? If not, is there a "fix" available to make it compatible? PS: I was able to pick it up (new, not used) for only $2.00 INCL Shipping, so even if it is not, it is no biggie (It is on the way to me and I just thought about this compatibility issue!)

It ran fine on XP. Alright, it didn't work on my last setup of XP but I haven't tried it with my newer setup. I'll need to try it again. It must have been the guy who was installing it that caused the problem. I still wouldn't mind knowing if anyone has any experience running it on Windows 7.
