U can make a batch file to run the game in win 7 and it works like on win 98, explorer.exe causes the issues,
So you can call the batch file a sort of patch,

I just bought a new Alienware Area 51 which is maxed out in all aspects. I have an ATI Dual Radeon 5970 video card. I loaded FA and the video is all screwed up. Instead of nice clear and responsive video - it's really weird and not playable. Any help? |

That figures... Win 7 and FA dont get along to well... If you want to run FA with any stability on Win 7 you need to download and install the XP Compatability module, and there is no guarantee it will work... On the other hand, some have installed it and have had no issues at all... Its a crap shoot... If I were you I would install it on an XP machine first and then copy it over to a win 7 system... |

Yes I read this elsewhere for some other older sims as well... Would you be kind enought to list out more detail on this? Have you tested it in multiplayer? And if so how about cross connecting to a XP system with a Win 7 system... Any errors we need to know about? |

not tried it on multiplayer but shouldn't be a problem, all it does is start FA, and close explorer.exe because that's what causes the graphics issues in FA on Win 7, and wen you exit it restarts Explorer, if you email me, i ave the batch file that i made myself u may have to edit it tho if you've not installed to default directly |

while I don't even know what FATK is yet  ... I can say that I can play FA on 7 64 bit with batch file kickstart to disable the explorer.exewhy should it be any different with FATK? |

This is what I am hoping to hear, but so far no one that has Win 7 has tried to use the FATK (Fighters Anthology Tookit)... I need confirmation before I install win 7. |

ah the toolkit, is it the editor? I haven't tried it too... it should though, since it's basically just a simplistic file editor  you could try install it on older computer and copy paste it to the new computer, this is what I did for my FA installation, I installed it on XP SP2 laptop and copy paste it to 7 |
