Louis Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 If you have the game installed, right click on the desktop icon and go to properties. Then selected compatibility mode and from the drop down box select "Windows NT". It will never ask for the cd again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 isnt NT different compared to the likes of 2000 and XP etc? (and yes i do know its different in at least some ways, d'uh ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) relaese after NT4 is the Current stock Standard (NTFS) file system Andy, in the popular windows o/s of the moment. True 32 bit. Windows 95,98,me were but 32 bit extensions to the 16 bit o/s releases after NT4 are true 32 bit i,e 2000(5.0 +) / NT / Xp /Server etc. Dont quote me on this but Im also told many games be 16 or between 16 & 32 bit with extensions( to allow use on older o/s etc). Though are gen closer to 16. Therefore the little system change simply allows the games to run @ 32 bit. As i said im 100% sure of the top comments re O/S etc but am only passing 2nd hand info on why this tweak wrks. Makes sense, if games a re universally designed to suit many platforms, I suppose they have to have a minimum standard 4 older pc's & is no suprise some tweaks would work in a more advanced o/s on a more ballsy pc. Interseting all the same. p.s some guys I no in the It game nick name Xp & Xp pr earlier builds as NT4 & 5 wif bells & whistles....!!!....P.s.s I like Xp but.
