Hi! Hiya Vid! Used to play in games with you back in the day but can't recall if it was Atlantis, Pir8, or Thorny's where we met. Game name was lustvicious. Tried to ICQ ya but got an error. Anyway I was running a TWGS game, (lots of trick ship and planet edits, custom gold aliens etc. lots of fun) on a Win98SE box with 512 mb RAM, excellent cable connection and things were humming right along. A program update (believe it was zonealarm) hosed my computer totally as far as being able to see the net goes. I can't browse or telnet yet I can do pings and tracert from a dos prompt, go figure. Tried just re-installing SE over the current installation, no dice, so am looking at having to fdisk and re-install everything. I didn't know if twgs was XP (w/ sp2) compatible but from what I am reading here I gather it is? I purchased XP Pro w/sp2 recently but didn't want to install it until I knew for sure it would work. Am I right in assuming I would not be able to import the game I had running using the SE OS? I even thought about installing XP, then Virtual PC, then SE from the vpc environment and running twgs from there..anyone have experience with doing that? Really didn't want to have to rebang
but it's starting to look like I may have no choice. Are any of the helper programs compatible with XP? Any advice is welcome! If I have to re-bang I could use some help with the config for evils as I have always played blue and don't know what tweaks make it an enjoyable game for evils. Seemed no matter what I changed in the game settings it wasn't helpful to evil players <shrug>.
