well you can say that again Lyril. I had so much trouble figuring out how to stop the lock-ups in TMA on my new rig. lucky for me, I just had to change the core afinity (I'm using a dual core porc) and everything was fixed. I'm still under XP (and I doubt I'll be changing it too soon for Vista, maybe give 2000 a try)

I tried to run Thief in my computer but its crash.
After instaling Direct X-7, and reinstaling, I read a article that say : Processors with Hiper Trading dont like Thief 1,2, so you have to disable one.

XP all the way, it's faster than vista anyways...

I use XP x64 Pro, on a Athlon X2 3700 and a GeForce 7950GT.
I think the drivers were 93.71, but I'm at a different PC and can't check them. The only issues I had were the dual-core processors fix and the movies fix.
Just to see, I've even tried it under Virtual PC running Windows 95 with software graphics (Virtual PC doesn't allow hardware acceleration). It runs Thief I, albeit verrrrrrrrry slowly :)

meh. the list is still missing DOS 6.22 . . . the 'first' version of windows; remember the windowed GUI command?
as for the HT/2xCore issue . . . I ran across this little program: (
http://www.majorgeeks.com/WinLauncherXP_d870.html) WinLauncherXP that allows you to set the affinity of applications - and the real nice thing, is that you can minimize it to the System Tray so that it doesn't have to keep a window open on the Start Bar (like TaskAssign). It's worked great for T1, T2, T2X for me.

Once again, wheres Win2k? :confused:
All i had to do was install T2 and it worked w/o a friggin hitch. TG had one or two snags, but it all worked out in the end.
As for Win2k being similar to XP... That makes no sense to me, not only are the schemes totally different, XP has better memory and disk management (amongst other things), which is why it gained the name "Windows XP" and not "Windows 2005." But, potato, potahto, as the sayin goes.

I'm using Vista 32, on a notebook Core 2 Duo machine, with ATI video chipset (Mobility x1900).
Thief 2 runs flawlessly, with correct colors, videos are OK if you set to XP compatible mode. For unknown reasons, setting antialiasing makes the texts (items, panels...) desappear, so I run the the game without.
As often with ATI, NO FOG.
I'm using of course a no-CD , mono-processor patched executable to achieve this. I've not installed Thief 2 from scrtach either, but only transferred an old installation on this new machine.
BTW, same story for System Shock2. A non-CD, mono-processor executable do the trick. No problem, exept the same described for Thief 2.

I don't trust vista (whichever version I have tried), it's too full of glitches
redrider on 27/7/2007 at 19:27
What glitches? Vista runs better for me than XP and there are so many UI and other improvements that I wouldn't go back.
Now if you have older hardware with drivers that are not optimized for Vista maybe you can run into some issues but I've had 0 problems with Vista so far.
