Yep. No problem. I've been running CFS1 & all M$ sims on WinMe since it was first released.

I don't doubt you Doug, I'm just saying that I heard from a friend that CFS will run on ME, but with a few bugs. I don't think that it correct, but having XP Pro myself I can't test it.

You're probably right anyway, I just thought I'd mention it Grin

No bugs that I know of Geforce. If anything it's the other way round & several people trying to run it on WinXP have mailed me for advice. I can't help as I've never used XP & have no knowledge of it.

I've never had a problem running CFS1 on Win95/98Hagar & 3 different PCs. WinMe is simply an updated version of Win98. CFS1 was released long before WinXP was thought of & originally intended to run on Win95, which it does rather well. Wink

OK, right you are. The reason why CFS1 runs perfectly on XP (for me anyway) is that XP has a Compatibility Mode feature. This lets the game run as if it were in, say, Windows 98. I run CFS1 in Win95 Compatibility mode, and it is fine. If I put it onto XP Mode, the game wont even start.

Make that 4001. Wink

Numbers & stars have no importance to me & might as well not be there.

I have heard of this Compatability or Emulation mode, whatever it's called. Good to know it works.
