Because I can't get any of my cool SW games to work. XWA, TIE Fighter, BF2, FoC, JO, JA, Republic Commando... but Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force works. The ****? Have you guys run into this and gotten around it?

BF2 has been working fine for me. I've had no issues with it since updating to Windows 7. Same with Lego Star Wars II and even Clone Campaigns worked fine.

I wouldn't know. I'm a Mac guy, myself.

Yep... I'm looking for Windows 98 or ME so I can play those games again, haha!

Did you try running in admin mode?

Right-click on the exe file you click to start the game. The EXE file, not the shortcut. So follow the usual C:/Program Files/ stuff. Though once you're done, you will need to do it on any shortcuts you frequently select (Like desktop shortcuts)

In the list, after you've right-clicked, you should see Properties at the bottom of the list. Click it.

A window will pop up and you should be able to see a little tab called Compatibility. Select that.

Now, I don't know much about 7, but with Vista you check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for:

Once you check that, select Windows XP (Service Pack 2).

Further down, there's Privilage Level. Check Run this program as an administrator.

That should do it. If you're having further problems, there's a ton more options there. I get a bug from time to time with SWGB where it pixelates, so I select the 256 color option as well. Hope that works for everyone :D Solomon too!
