I have a copy of Empire I ahve kept running in - ah - numerous
computers since about 1990.   It is version 2.05.  It will not run
on Vista.  Anyone know of a version that can be purchased and
downloaded that will run on Vista?  Thanks!

I, too, am looking for a version to use with Vista.  I can run
2.03 but can not reload saved games.  I get Access Violation
errors.

I have tried various compatibility options, turned off User Access
Control.  Sometimes I can reload games but most of the time I can
not.

There is an updated version at http://www.killerbeesoftware.com
that has more graphics and but I really like this version.

I'll keep trying.

I did load Virtual PC 2007 and fired up Windows XP in a virtual
window and got Empire to work but the response time is too slow.

Where did you find version 2.05?  The latest official version on the 
website is 2.01.

But do try the version I've contributed
ftp://ftp.classicempire.com/stewart.zip

You might need to do a few things to get it to compile under current 
DMD.  Unfortunately I'm away from my Vista box at present, so can't test 
it thereon.
