Its a server operating system. It wasn't designed to play games and
shouldn't be used as such. If you only have one box, set it up with two
drives/partitions and dual boot server and workstation.

MCNGP XL

That's pretty cool, I only have Windows 2023.
What's the game, type of game?

Of course there's a way. There's a way to do everything. But, the question
remains, why would you do this? Swerver operating systems aren't meant to
run games. Hell, some swervers don't even have a monitor hooked up. If I
were you, I wouldn't install anything more graphics/processor/memory
intensive than Snood.

Get yourself a workstation with Windows 98 or Windows XP if you want to run
games.

Yes, I do that.

Search for "use Windows 2003 Server as a workstation"

There are some very specific things you would have to do to make this work
with DirectX

Maybe because Windows Server 2003 runs about 15 to 20 percent faster on most
computers, requires less resources than XP when nut running Active Directory
and actually runs games pretty well. Or it might just be because he wants
to. In either caourse you can game, you just need to enable Windows Audio
and Video acceleration. You can even run themes if you like the Fischer
Price style interface.

It's your PC do what you want with it.....

We keep ours stacked up in a nice rack, all locked up. I don't know what
kind of company you work for, but they should really keep their swervers
under control.


PS - glad to see you bounding from group to group again!
