If I were to get vista on my computer would I still be able to play older video games that were made before vista came out? (ex. Medal of Honor, Rome Total War, and any of the Battlefield games.)yesI've never had any problems running older games on Vista (Ultimate), including Rome: Total War, Diablo II, Warcraft III, the earliest Command and Conquer games, the earliest Age of Empires games, etc.additionally- a lot of the older games that don't work with Vista have patches AVAILABLE from enthusiasts that get them WORKING- Like need for speed:high stakes, for example.For starters, if an older game doesn't work on your Windows Vista computer, you can use a virtual partition. Most, if not all Vista computers come with a Windows XP (SP 2) virtual partition that you can use for compatibility. All you do is right click on a shortcut to the program, click 'Properties,' go to the 'Compatibility' tab, and check off "Run the program in compatibility mode for:" then select 'Windows XP (Service Pack 2)'. That should allow the game to run freely.Its not a virtual partition. Its just compatibility mode.LOL


virtual partition...

That's a good one.Very just like when I was helping this guy and he called his computer a mainframe. I was trying to explain that he cant play Left 4 Dead on integrated graphics and he thought I MENT the moniter cord XDOr like that time I had an open case standing nearby and my friend pointed at the hard drive and said "thats the motherboard, right?" ROFL!That happened here, Iwas TAKING apart my computer, and the easter bunny jumped in through the window, pointed at the sound card I had taken out, and Exclaimed, "IS THAT LINUX?". I promptly punched him in the face. And I told him he was only supposed to come into my room on sundays when everybody else was asleep. Otherwise I wouldn't be sleeping naked for him... hey wait a second, what was I talking about?


that was a pretty good one... geez, I'm a freaking comedic genius.It was good becideds the is that linux PART
