Neal, I can't answer your question as I have windows 7 installed only on a low-powered netbook which I think can't handle games bigger than CAOD. I have never tried to run other games on that netbook.

But I am as curious as you are whether the compatibility mode offers the all-round solution to get old games running that nobody has every heard off.

People never seem to talk about that feature of windows 7 and I keep asking myself why. It it because it is largely unknown or because it is known to be not working well?

I wonder what experiences other people have made with the compatibility mode.

You, Neal, are asking the right questions:

"...do you find Win7 works for most older games? Are there any you cannot get to work in Win7? Sub Command, Dangerous Waters, SH3, SH4 ?"
