WinXP?
Posted: 04 Nov 2017, 09:13
Greetings,
I've been playing EE1 and EE2 for a decade or so under Mac OS-X / Parallels running a Win-XP VM. It has been running about perfectly... Ok, well, some video issues on the startup, but I've seen it once and am fine just clicking through it. (sound is off)
I installed the patch, it threw an exception about not being able to find a method to Get Logical Processor Information (Kernel32.dll) (I assume it is a Post XP API Call to the OS), and clicked OK. I told it to run the config program and Windows Blue Screened and rebooted.
After a nice reboot, When I ran the program, it gives the same error And/or it blue screens. It seems to be just blue screening the OS since the last blue screen.
Is XP supported? I'd hate to go from a 6 GB VM to a 30 GB VM to run this app, but it does seem cool - we have always just been running the original game without any mods.
if you can help, that would be great!
Thanks
