Ok, I found the 1.02 patch easily enough but not sure about the win xp GUI. Do you happen to have a link to it?
Thanks

No, I looked too. It's on Gulfknight's site, but he charges you to download anything. The files are available at the usual places though or PM me with your email and I'll send it to you.

I've been posting videos of games that will run in Win 7 in the video section. Crimson Skies runs beautifully. JSF, F-22 L3, F-16 MRF, Eurofighter Typhoon, Mechwarrior4, CFS2, CFS3, FSX, FS9, Starlancer, BOB2, Lockon, HAWX, FreeFalcon5, Mig Alley, Rogue Squadron, and Strike Fighters run great.

Can't get IAF to start at all. Crashes right off the bat. It's some kind of DX error and after looking for a fix, I can't find one.

I think TAW will work. Not so sure about F/A-18.

Can't get USAF to work. It loads OK, but seems to have the same drop=down menu issues that have been around since XP. Crimson Skies runs, but the graphics are all glitchy, especially when using the primary display driver settings. On the plus side, all of my Rainbow Six games and Ghost Recon games are running great, along with Longbow 2 (after applying Flyboy's Vista/7 fix)

I'm running Home Premium 32 bit with a NVidia 7600GT graphics card.

Crimson Skies needs the Nvidia fix to work worth a crap anymore. I read on a forum where this guy was asking Nvidia why they would not fix their drivers to work with CS and they basically said there just was not enough demand. So some guy fixed it himself. I have the link for the fix on my site in the video section.

It's on my site. Right above the Crimson Skies videos. It was easier just to put it up there. Everything you need is in it.
