what do you mean by wonderfully?

Does it close randomly?
Does it lag?

whats your secret? What are the statistics of your computer?

Some of the main problems that could of caused this is not up to date drivers are not having a decent graphics card to run PAS.

It never closes on me, though sometimes when I'm in a huge map, it will lag a little bit.

Not really sure what you mean by "secret". It just works fine.

Not entirely sure what you're looking for, but I hope it was all listed above.

Thanks. Next time. ill get vista then upgrade.

Won't matter if you upgrade or have 7 installed by default; it's about the drivers you're running and their support for openGL.

It seems that there's a few Win7 drivers out there that have terrible support for opengl, for some reason.

You would have expected them to fix those problems. Anyway. I use windows 7, and im using EXACTLY the same drivers as i was using on XP, only difference is its win 7 and i hav a dual thread Dual core, rather than a single thread dual core. I was using single thread on XP and it was working fine. I wonder if its that.

Will windows 7 have the drives fixed any time soon, because I'm going to be purchasing a new computer with windows 7.

Gr1m

Yeah, hopefully, im gonna see if i can email microsoft and see if they can fix it. Why dont we all make a post with all the problems were experiencing with Win 7?

Hopefully it will be sorted out when i get my computer.

Probably, yet again, according to my dad, and hes a techy, i could get Windows Virtual Machine and run PAS on that, in XP mode. It should work.
