Has anyone succeeded in getting C2 to run well on XPpro?

Are there any patches for this? I was thinking of setting up C2 again on my
old P3-800 (remember when that was the top Puter of the times?). I miss my
loveable C2 norns.

It *should* work - you must however make sure it's up to the latest
patch level and I think there are some instructions floating around.
XP's compatability mode on the properties tab may be required to
install and/or run the game. But they all work here.

Don! Thank you!

I've just spent almost two hours reading the "How to Install on XP" thread.
lol (I need to get a Life) (er... wait! --maybe not) 😀

I think I am going to try and find a copy of The Albion Years. I hope its
available somewhere in the State of New York, USA.

Albian; Albi_a_n! You might find more sites if you use the 'a'. They
have an english version in the uk!

it was a typo. 😛

Just as Pendantic as ever I see. *grin*

Anyway, I meant in the stores over here, since I'm sure I saw one a couple
of years ago in Staples, but I didn't get it because I didn't realise it
was for XP. :`(

Amazing! Does anyone still speak English over there?

Here they speak American (It definitely is NOT English).
and at home I speak Canadian (MUCH closer to English).
