I have a copy of Empire I ahve kept running in - ah - numerous computers since about 1990.   It is version 2.05.  It will not run on Vista.  Anyone know of a version that can be purchased and downloaded that will run on Vista?  Thanks!

I, too, am looking for a version to use with Vista.  I can run 2.03 but can not reload saved games.  I get Access Violation errors.

I have tried various compatibility options, turned off User Access Control.  Sometimes I can reload games but most of the time I can not.

There is an updated version at http://www.killerbeesoftware.com that has more graphics and but I really like this version.

I'll keep trying.

I did load Virtual PC 2007 and fired up Windows XP in a virtual window and got Empire to work but the response time is too slow.

Where did you find version 2.05?  The latest official version on the website is 2.01.

But do try the version I've contributed

You might need to do a few things to get it to compile under current DMD.  Unfortunately I'm away from my Vista box at present, so can't test it thereon.
