What OS are YOU on?

I use Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 3. It's not so beautiful, but I think is the best OS released in the history.

Yeah it would be the best if you've never tried anything else.

Win2000 isn't even in the "winOS top3"

Windows Me is not particularly good, I agree with that. But XP is one of the most stable operating systems Microsoft has ever created! It's much more stable than Windows 1.x to Me, and, depending what you use it for, is more stable than 2000 (as I say, depending what you use it for).

The most stable Microsoft operating system has to be MS-DOS 3.3.

I must have been lucky then - every single one of my old DOS games still work great under XP, admittedly in some cases with a bit of help from CPUKiller (to slow the processor speed down) or/and VDMSound (to emulate an older Soundblaster card.)

I could never afford a BBC Micro, so I had it's cut down cheapo version, the Acorn Electron. No disk filing system, so audio cassettes are used for storage. Still works great - superb machine

All I really wanna play is constructor, and I can't, it makes me sad all what I went to to get that game to work (I bought it, it didn't work, I took it back, got a replacement, got it half working, upgraded to the recommended rather than required cd rom speed...that killed that PC, it eventually worked on the replacement until that got MEd. Waaaah!)

I wanted to play Constructor on Xp .. but it says soemthing error with my network ... (card or something like that) ... anyway ... who knows where can I dow**oad Constructor2 ???

The second one just isn't the same though, I've only played the demo, but it's just not right!

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 29 Jan 2003 22:43

I know the first was the best but I never play second .......

it is time to go to bed ... huh ... going to work early

... I will get here from work

It's worth trying just to say bah, its not as good as it should've been. Why remake a classic with something that offers little more?

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 29 Jan 2003 22:48

Ok... if you say so ... but how to run Constructor at XP ???

lynsey · Post by **lynsey** » 29 Jan 2003 22:52

I gave it a go and didn't have any luck, then I remembered it was a boot disk game so it was pointless even trying and gave up.

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 29 Jan 2003 22:53

hm... I will find out something ...

EDITED: my 1400th post
