Act of War - Windows 98 ?

[tbaher]

I know this is none of my business but you have 2 options..
either buy winxp home for $50 (almost the same as a videogame)
and then you can play the game. (and life will be better in general.. but that's not my business)
Or be angry about not getting a refund and losing $50 ..
..


Edit:
Of course there is ebay.. but.. you want to play the game right?

About the open-box-"law" it is the same here in sweden, the only chance to get a new one is if the CD was broken when the game was purchased. Sometimes not even that will be enough for them, as they claim that you have broken it yourself...

yeah,that's carp, the customer is always the dumbass...

i allready have WinXP,but its hard to work in a new OS,
install all the other drivers,programs,games...
but i think sometime it has to be...thanks again ATARI

i hope the game is worth the trouble

I just wiped XP so I know what you mean .. I finally migrated from my trusty old 15GB HDD to a 160GB as a C: Drive .. (I had 5 other hard drives running in the box but the C: was a 15GB)

The drivers are not a problem at all .. between driverguide and manufacturer's websites.. you will get drivers for all the obscure hardware..
XP has MOST of the drivers built in or on windows update..

the problem is that you will lose "shutdown to dos" .. which is easily fixed by DOSBOX..

I recommend putting XP, if you have enough RAM .. performance will be better and life will be better in general.. (if you're annoyed by the new interface you can make it more classic)

I bought it and tried on a smaller PC with win98 on it, and it worked fine for me.

Then I got bored a bit and made a proper +2 trainer (since other ones *cough* dont work *cough*) :P

well that is impossible,cause today i got an email(now nearly 2Weeks ago)
from the Atari-support and there confirmed that this game runs only on
Win2000/XP,
