I've always loved Vista, even though it has high requirements, I think its graphical interface is incredible, and I've always hated people saying "garbage vista, seven wonderful", that's completely stupid, because seven is just a vista service pack 3, but with a theme Modified for marketing reasons …

5. ME used dos 8.0, and 98 used dos 7.1. I remember having a hard time running some dos games on ME, I really like being able to open dos games directly on windows 98 and play them without having to restart the computer, is there any fix that allows me to do this on ME? You can still run DOS games …

Depends, certain drivers do require a minimum version of DirectX installed so the programs using that API can run. In addition, with the sole exception of having hardware with crappy drivers, it doesn't make any sense to stick with DX7 runtime libraries. That's like saying later versions of DirectX …

I played Crysis to completion at 10 fps, but the motion blur helped a lot to compensate. This game was definitely the exception for me, as there wasn't anything contemporary at the time that could run it well anyways.

The range where PII/ PIII of range 233 MHz to 800MHz is too underpowered for made to run in windows 98 era games and too fast for DOS games.

While I was not the mod who did this and don't know the exact details, I can generally say that when you're quoting and answering a "spam" post, then it's normal that any replies to that post is removed during thread cleanups, or else it just gets confusing for other visitors who will not …
