You bet!
 
O/S: Windows 98SE, 2000, XP
DirectX Version: DX7
Minumum Processor: PIII
Memory: 256MB
HD Space: 200MB
 
Map scrolling response increases with the higher line graphics cards.
You could run the game with 256MB BUT I would suggest 512MB to minimize disk swapping.
She doesn't tax the processor or the O/S very much (Let's face it this is not a first-person-shooter :-)) so you may even get away with running on some smaller systems than listed above. We just haven't tested on anything less than what's listed above.
Does this help?
 
Thank you
Thank you

Yes thanks. Processor is not a problem, memory could be on my aging laptop. Will try it anyway. I am free for most of the summer foreseeably. [;)]

I hope it runs on my Vista64.   I don't have any of the OS's listed above, and I suspect neither will many people especially in light of the expected release date.

Most are probably still running XP like I am and I'm sure there are still a few running 2000 or 98. I know I will stay away from Vista for a while until there has been sufficient time for patches and drivers to catch up with the new system.

I will "upgrade" to Vista only when I am forced to.

My point exactly. I will stay with what I know works. A buddy of mine bought Vista and he can't get drivers for most of his peripherials.[:@]

Dont you wonder in a normal business (say automibile or cell phone) how long would MS survive with such crappy, unreliable products?

For me as an average looser user if not 3.1 but 95/NT was definitely enough.

On the other hand I would never go back to XP. My Vista runs flawlessly and is better in almost every way than my previous OS. It was the most hassle-free install too, and it recognized everything right away.

All the new PCs being sold now ship with Vista, so I just want to make sure EiA is tested on that platform.

You might be lucky or you might use a config which perfectly matches one Vista was tested on etc.

For me one of the moments of truth was when Bill Gates made the XP crash when he was trying to show how stabile the new XP was, years ago.

I consider using MS programs a necessary evil. I only have to wait till I collect the money to buy a Mac. ;)

I know this is too much to ask, but any hope of getting this complaint with MAC OSX?
