As u can see from the subject i am EXTREMELY ANNOYED AT THIS!!! What is the point in making a game that will only run on the 2 worst operatin systems in the world. I have been waiting for this game to come out for ages, so i download the demo, installs fine and..... " EXE appears to be corrupt". I mean come on, u could hav just said that it wont work. I mean, most people who hav had this error probably thought it was the download and downloaded it again, so theyre there waiting for ages AGAIN and oh look it still doesnt work. AT LEAST PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT!!!!.

You may be thinking why i run windows ME. Thats because as i mentioned earlier XP IS POO!. I mean come on it isnt exactly a gaming OS because it saps memory like a 200ft sponge and not only that its always coming up with error messages, annoying little things in the sytem tray and worst of all, every time ive tried to intall any graphics card drivers on an XP machine, guess what, it crashes

Well good for you Ion storm, you've succeded in getting even less money because u cant b arsed to get ur act together and fix the problem.

I beg to differ just a little: Windows Me is by far the worst version of Windows ever, for all sorts of reasons. Your post suggests that you've had XP in the past, so could you set up a dual boot with XP and Me, to allow you to play the game?

The fact that the game only supports XP and 2000 is clearly on the box, and should have been relatively easy to find before downloading the demo...

I feel your pain, really, but I'm not sure it's Eidos/Ion Storm's fault.

That's strange, when my parents first got their HP system, it had ME which turned the thing into a crash-a-matic. Upgrading to XP helped to solve a lot of problems.

LOL

So because youre a N00b and cant maintain a normal adult operating system, Eidos gotta hire about 3 programmers to iron out the wrinkels ME (which is the most sucky version in all Win9X)
has because it doesnt have a proper driver model.

Plz grow up or buy a macintoch of XboX (also PC n00bs) but at least they dont cry about it.

If you wanna look more mature and wast time in these posts then ask them why they dont have a linux port (now that is real man OS and not for kids so dont try to install it !! ) That is an interesting discusion. Dont whine about an OS which isnt supported by M$ anymore and therefor death.

every time ive tried to intall any graphics card drivers on an XP machine, guess what, it crashes Have you tried removing the original with the add/remove function in control panel? That's what I do before upgrading my ati drivers. Also if your computer comes with an integral graphics card (like the S3 on my e-machine) you will have to make sure it's disabled.
