Well, you know how Windows XP has the compatibility options for executables for 95, 98, 2000 and such? - WELL, they should have the same for Vista so you can set the compatibility mode for each games/software to Windows XP until the games are upped for Vista...someone out there besides me could've thought of that, and I sure hope that Gates also figured that out...

I have the windows vista beta and yes there is a windows xp under the compatibility options and I have had to do that to almost every program I have for it to work.

wow so microsoft really redid there coding for Windows Vista if alot of win 95 - xp apps cant run wihtout the compatibility modes O.o

and basicly the only time i use compatablity mode in win xp is when a programs isntaller will only run if u have liek win 98 or something like that

Actually, some games, like quake, need you to donwngrade your PC if it has REALLY good processor, cpu, graphics etc...

So i can only play it on my laptop

Or i havent tried anyways so mabey not even laptop.

i would say forget downgrading my pc

But anyways, i cant play doom on my laptop or computer, i need to downgrade to play it, i know everything always works on the next OS and if not then you emulate, but anyways its a matter of hardware, not software (In this case)

people having higher specs is why they made Doom ports like skulltag and Jdoom
