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! |

Posted in reply to Player | 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. |

But do try the version I've contributed ftp://ftp.classicempire.com/stewart.zip 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. Stewart. |
