| | Game & Application Compatibility Hi - I'm debating on whether to upgrade to Vista or not and whether to get a new machine with Vista on it. My major concern is whether the programs and games that I currently own will be compatibility with this new operating system. I checked Wickipedia and looked under Vista compatibility and didn't have any luck. Is there some easy way to tell before making a change which of my games and programs will work if I decide to switch (instead of contacting each manufacturer)? I am currently running XP home and several of the games that I have were originally designed for earlier operating systems. Is there a utility that can be downloaded to check this? Thanks! |
