I bought Play 101 Games for an XP op sys. Does anyone know whether they will work on Windows 8? Box only says 7, XP & Vista.

Yes, but for some games you have to use the compatibility feature. Super easy takes about 3 minutes or less.

I couldn't get it to work on my boyfriends XP, but I was able to download the whole thing on my Windows 7. It just might work on the Windows 8, but then again I am not sure, as I don't have Windows 8. There are many great games on this, so I would try it if you do have Windows 8. I hope to have helped.

On Windows XP, I've suggested to other customers to go into the game_data folder and pick and choose which games they want to install individually as I think installing the games all at once is overkill in my opinion and if you need additional assistance getting you up and running with the software we welcome your postings here: http://forums.encoreusa.com/tt.asp?forumid=292XP is a little different on this title, they don't appear in the start menu.

I didn't look at the provided mini-CD, which I assume has the device drivers for Windows XP or earlier, because I don't have a DVD drive on my system and I've thrown out the CD. Someone else might be able to help you with that. There are a few free ones around the Internet, like joy2key, but I haven't used them personally. The MAME emulator seems to pick up and use the game controller just fine without them. I also only have a small number of PC games, but they either use XBox controller or can use the built-in Windows driver directly.

The games were designed with XP in mind. Maybe try running in XP compatibility mode. It seems a stretch, but also make sure you laptop is graphically powerful enough to run it, although my ancient 5 year old Win 7 box runs it perfectly fine.

Yes... Currently running it right now on Windows 8. I believe we are running it in XP compatibility mode. I should note that I am using a Windows 7 emulator on that computer as I have found Windows 8 not conducive to being productive. The emulator just gives me back my start menu and multiple windows on screen, but it's still Windows 8.

Yes! But not all of the new Win8 functions work. Not a problem though. The game plays better on Win8 than the older platforms.

There's a POL viewer bug with windows 7 and beyond. The architecture of windows changed after XP. Your computer can run it! You just have to download the new POL viewer client from: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/download/media/vista01.html?pageID=media Hope this helps! Happy gaming!

I checked Creative's website for any Xp drivers. I only found drivers for Windows 7 & 8. I'm running Vista 64-bit & there are drivers for that version of Windows. Here's a sad reality: Microsoft has been steadily pulling the plug on Xp, so hardware companies, and the software they write, are tailoring their products towards Windows 7 & 8.

Sorry, I have Windows Vista, and it works great. It is a great game, hope you can play it.

The system requirements states that it supports 64-Bit OS; Window Vista (SP2) X64. I use Windows 7 so I can only tell you what the game box says as I don't have 1st hand knowledge.

I installed it on a Win 7 SP1 32 bit desktop system and I don't remember any problems. I do think I had to install each game by itself but I'm not sure. It seemed me me it installed and played OK. Not sure about any other OS however.....

I play my roller coaster tycoon 2 on windows 8. Runs perfectly fine and isn't buggy. Just like when I was running it on windows 7!!

I have them on my computer (windows 8) but I play them in windows 7 mode. So I would say yes to windows 7.

When I bought mine, it was a gift to someone else - and think it was so complicated that he never even got it working in XP. Win 8.1? Pretty new OS - may be worth checking a Belkin Nostromo SppedPad N52 User's Forum - I assume there's one out there somewhere. Try an XP-rated game in Win 8.1 - if it runs, the controller might, too.

All I know is that it did not work with XP or win 2000. You might get lucky but I sure hope you like to play.

I plays very well on my Windows 7, since Windows 7 comes with a utility that runs most games for XP and 98 automatically. There has only been one game that would not play, and it was on a disc.

Works on windows 8 so I would think it works on windows 7. I really don't like the game though. 8 levels, but level 3 is easy while level 4 jumps to very hard (4-6 words every game that you probably have never heard of).

I had that game installed on Win XP and it worked perfectly :) , now im on Win 7 x64 and i dont see any problem.
