NO CD Patch for WindowsXP

[AL]

Hi, just found out that the NO CD patch file for FS2000 is not working with Windows XP. Just wondering if this file is really not compatable or something that I did wrong during XP installation.

the no cd didn't work with win2000pro either - thats why I went back to win98 - it was a matter of priorities - a more reliable system.... or my flight sim cd-hassle free - Guess who won????

Windows XP's registry is the same as Windows 2K, wich is based on NT. Many cracks don't work on NT based OS. I assume you just want the patch because you don't want to have to switch CD when going from one game to another? JK ;-)

Maybe some enterprising person can figure out how to get into xp's registry but I doubt it.

there are patches that work with Win XP, you just have to find them. (I downloaded one and it seems to work ok. Try typing in a search engine 'fs2000' and 'no cd'. Thats how I found it. Hope that helps..

Thats very interesting!
I did nothing special, and the no-cd crack worked fine for me - in both Win2000 and WinXP, with FS2000-Pro.

I've been running with 2000 and XP for the longest of times, and the no-cd crack always worked just fine for me.

Hmph! I wonder if I was just lucky?

That's good news. I read that XP has some boost in performance as far as game goes, that's why I want to try and see if its really true. If there is any glitch with XP for FS2000 then I will use either 98SE or ME just for fly simulation. I itching to try to have multiple boot of 98SE, ME, and XP on my machine just to compare the FS2000 framerate. I will definitely have XP for other applications beside fly sim since it has that soothing new look, I guess a change of scenery just doesn't hurt :).

Happy flying
(and don't forget to peak at the framerate once in a while :))
