    I recently purchased a new computer with Vista Home Premium operating system. It came with a free upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium once it was released. I am interested in hearing of any experiences of Windows 7 users with games. The only thing I have seen so far from a win 7 user was that he couldn't play Princess Isabella with full screen. I have to make a decision soon about  installing it. Send a Kudo Post a reply Quote & Reply

    I am in the same situation.  I installed Win 7 - it was a nightmare due to the very poor instructions that came with the disc and thus had to do a "clean" install and lost everything on my new computer - 3 calls to customer support etc - but anyhow after a week it was up and working.  I tried to download a few games from various sites and they crashed - Big Fish has instructions on how to get the games to work under 7 - it has to with your graphics card and you have to change some settings - and lose the "Aero" effect that is one of the few things I liked about 7 - or go in and change how the game runs.

    Was it worth it?  God, NO!!!

    I have downloaded windows 7 I have no problem playing games with it. The only difference I see is it's not as nice 2 the eyes like vista was and I play pyramids cards from yahoo and I cannot get the cards big like they used 2 be, now on the good side everything is a lot sharper and the interenet boots up alot quicker.

    Hmm I just moved to a Windows 7 PC and no problems playing any games. I've been playing Big Fish games mostly, but they all work fine. The OS itself does take some getting used to though!
