Windows 7 still a no-go with Dynaverse.  Dual-boot is the way to go.

For v1 of SFC4 I'd be happy with OP as it is that works in W7.

I don't have Win 7 yet, but will on the next round of computers.  For anyone who does, does Win 7's compatibility feature work w/ SFCOP?

No.

You can play GSA and IP - but cannot play Dynaverse.

I've tested every configuration possible to get D2 working on Windows 7.. No Go.

Dual boot is the only way to go currently with XP on a separate partition.

A ticket has been submitted to MS, but don't hold your breath on this getting resolved.

The only other solution is to have 2 HDDs one with Win7 /Vista and the other one with XP.This is what I am thinking of doing .

You can do that with 2 HDDs however with Windows 7, and the demand of games; having 2HDDs, i would Raid 0 Stripe them for the access speed and then make a partition and install Win 7 on the main partition and XP on the second partition. this way you get 6 Gb/s transfer rates for both Win 7 and XP.

RAID 0 is like Russian roulette in your PC. Lose either disk and you lose everything.

But the speed increase is AWESOME.   Just run frequent backups.

Read this in another gaming forum. Likely this has been looked at already, but thought I would post it up here anyway, just in case.

"If you get W7 Professional, you can install an XP compatibility mode option, which basically runs programs that are compatible with XP but not with 7 in an XP virtual machine. So cross-compatibility should not be an issue."

*Edit: Reading the other thread on this topic it appears that this has already been thoroughly tested.  :-\

According to my teckies, what Ronin posted should be correct. I just got win7 and its ok... but a bugger trying to reconfigure. But most new computers now have win7 home premium installed and all you have to pay for is the win7 professional package which up here in is about 140 Canadian
