ET on Windows 7

Hey everyone,

I was just checking new desktops in bestbuy and they have some sweet deals on Windows7 upgradable Computers. I was just wondering is ET and L4D1 gonna work on it?

Thanks for that EARS but I talked to Cannon and some others in game and Cannon said he has Windows 7 on all his computers but ET does not work. He has a Windows XP partition dual boot specifically to play ET ...... :(..... and someone else said ET works fine but PB does not function correctly and gives error. :(

I installed Windows 7 RC1 on a partition and ET works fine. Make sure you install punkbuster and update it. After doing that, it worked fine for me.

Works fine for me on Win7 Ultimate. No issues at all.

Any new updates on Windows 7. I need to format my HD as I have malware problems in my registry that I can't get rid off. So I thought I would do a clean install of Windows 7.

I plan on getting the Professional eddition.

Any new insights would be great.

Just don't forget what happened to Him-Again ( http://www.bbaservers.com/ftopict-6984-stuffed.html )

Installing a new OS might be a good time to get another HD, unless you already have separate OS and Data HDs, like somebody suggested. Keep the old HD as a safety-backup for a while, or dual-boot, or...

Good Point! That makes sense.

Is it possible to have 2 HD's one with Windows 7 and the other with XP on it?
I know Win 7 Pro does use a xp configuration.

Yea this would be possible. I assume you'd install Xp first and then Win7?
Would save trouble getting a working dualboot.

I haven't found anything that doesn't run better on Win7 than on XP.
