UV runs fine on my system which has WinXP Home Edition as the OS.

Rise of Nations, all the Panzer Campaigns games, Korsun Pocket, War over Vietnam, Galactic Civilizations, Hearts of Iron, Madden 2003, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, Highway to the Reich, Call of Duty, and Pax Romana to name a few all run fine on my XP system.

Edit - forgot to mention Comabt Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin and CMAK too.

XP home is OK with all the games I have ever tried it with

I did have some graphic issues with Railroad tycoon 3, but that's about it

close combat 3-5;RtB
UV
Korsun pocket
Squad Assault
HttR
BCT
TACOPS
Operation Flashpoint +resistance
Ghost Recon+
rise of nations
Talonsoft campaign series
HoI
Civilisation
sim city 2 or 3
Total War, shogun and medieval
+ a ton of demos I can't be bothered to list....

...all worked without any trouble at all

Sid Meier's gettysburg and antietam, and Harpoon 2 did not work now I think about it. but that's about all I can come up with.
I'm essentially graphically and history oriented, unfortunately to connect the two I have to do maths. I hate maths.

Not me. UV plus most of my other older games ran fine unless they were old DOS games. Even then, with some help from the net, I got most of them to work.

Same here, XP plays most of my old games, only ones i cant get to play are C&C red alert, final liberation and need for speed, so no major losses there!

XP CAN be problematic for some older games - but we must be clear here in terms of what "older" game means - that would be anthing before say 1999. Otherwise you should have no problems.

BTW, UV is NOT an older game.

Personally,the only games I have not been able to even boot(nor load) have been DOS versions of Castles,and Aces of the Deep.(AOD comes in a Windows version,it might be o.k...I liked borth of these,not for the games,but for the Video Documentaries which came with them..Castles had a BBC tour of English,Welsh,and Scots castles,and AOD had interviews with (then)surviving U-Boat skippers,extremely interesting..
I have not been able to load either of these since Windows 95....Again,DOS...[:(]
I have fierce mouse problems with SPWW2,and even with online help,I simply do not have the expertise to fix it,but I can still boot and play it(and SPMBT),which I won't do till a Windows friendly version is made..(I have XP home)..
