Re: Does SEIV run on XP????
I can proudly say I was 1 of the 100 something official buyers of M.U.L.E in Germany. A shame for such a great game that so few bought it, isn't it? And the real shame is that Danny Bunton (spelling?) has died much to early.

If 2K ran games better I know I'd stick by it, but I just feel its better suited for a buisness rather then a gamer like myself.

I have had no more problems with games on 2k than I had on XP. Old games, new games, whichever. |

With both I found it handy to have 2 drives. I like to have my C drive NTFS for better OS functioning, and my D drive FAT32 for better handling of older games.

Please splan dis to me 
Seriously, wouldn�t it be more efficient to just adjust the NTFS permissions for the specific folders used by the games. Keeping in mind that XP handles them differently than 2K.

I dont know. Ive only looked at NTFS permissions in affecting access and security. I didnt know there were options for file system formats. I know there are settings for things like "run as if Win95" but that only goes so far. With some older games they just hate NTFS.
Can you change the file structure of a folder after an install? That would surprise me. If I have to install it twice then its about the same as what Im using.
