Windows 7

Recommended Posts

I see Windows 7 will have an XP Emulation mode. Does this mean we will be able to run HB on Windows 7 without the problems associated with Windows Vista?

 

Can any of you Gurus out there explain this to me in no nonsense non geek language.

Im running windows 7 with windows xp virtual downloaded from microsoft.

 

Virtual machines have a virtual graphic card, so very crappy.

 

My fps in virtual XP is like 60-120, while in normal XP i had 200-400. But in virtual it is very shocky because of the virtual graphic card.

 

Solution:

 

I dual booted my laptop with windows 7 / Windows XP.

 

Had to figure out how to get the BOOT file fixed after installing XP.

 

I can make a tutorial for this if people want that.

 

Now it works fine and I use the WinXP to play HB and other games (starcraft :D)

 

CONS: I have to restart my laptop to boot winxp to play HB ;)

 

Hope I gave you enough information.

 

EDIT:

 

Im trying to figure out if there is a way to play HB with high ping in Windows 7.

 

Like the site evocator described it also says u can Publish programs from the Virtual XP to Windows 7 and run it in Windows 7, maybe this is better (havent tried yet)
