is this a question about networking, or if fs9 works on xp pro?

im running fs9 / fsp etc on xp pro

I am flying with fs2004 on WinXP Pro as we speak, so yes it works.

[Drew]

what have i told you Runi?

Drew!

You're way too quick!

Got it down to less then 1 minute (it's difficult writing with my left hand only and flying with my right hand)

[Jason]

it says what the compatability is right on the box for the game.

I used to run it on XP Pro just fine. Now I run it on Server 03 and it works just fine, also.

The question should be, why do you run it on a server machine? Won't the sevrer admins get a bit upset (I certainly would - I work for an
IT company and we administor other companies IT systems).

I'M the server admin. And no, I don't mind. This is going faster for me than XP. The boot up time for me (on an ultra-stressed computer) is
half.

Works peachy on Win XP for me

Regarding the server OS - are you actually using server hardware, or just a normal desktop PC set up with server 03 installed?

Even so, don't you notice any issues with driver compatability and performance compared with XP? Obviously server 03 wasn't designed
with gaming in mind. Boot up time I guess will be quicker due to the lesser overhead of running multimedia processes etc.

Just my normal laptop. Yes, I run FS on a laptop. I found a nice tutorial on http://msfn.org (if you ever have OS troubles beyond what this forum
can provide (which is rare,
but possibe), post on their forums. They helped stop spontanious shutdowns on my laptop) that helped showed me how to get DirectX and whatnot going
to make it work just as well as XP. All XP drivers that I have worked. It might just be my hardware on 03, but it still boots up faster and runs
quicker than XP. It's on a different and newer kernel, the one that they are designing Vista off of.
