[QUOTE="MathcoreRomeo, post: 941815, member: 76237"] Here is my computer: [url=http://www.macworld.com/product/hardware/141/detail.html]Mac Product Guide: 13-inch MacBook/2.4GHz (black) | Macworld[/url] I've read somewhere that you strictly need Windows Xp Service Pack 2 32-bit. Is that true? I've had Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit installed on this Mac before, and it had nothing but problems. I couldn't get sound, even though the settings and everything said it was enabled and working, and etc. But, more importantly, games would run bad on it. I got Diablo 2 running (256 color game) on it, but the colors were terribly messed up. I'm wondering if this problem was due to the fact my Windows copy wasn't genuine (it was a copy of Windows that came with my mom's computer), if it was because that version was 64-bit, or if it was from my drivers. I've got the AppleIntelGMAX3100 video drivers, and they won't let me run Diablo 2 on my Mac side. On Windows, it'll let me run it, but it looks bad. So, yeah. Can somebody tell me what Windows version I should get, and what those problems were from? If those problems were from my drivers, then I don't want to waste money on buying a Windows disk. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
