Memory leaks and Installation problems...
I think XP works quite nice. Except that I got these problems: Memory leaks: Games crashes sometimes and it seems to happen due to some memory leak. Like the one that happen i NFS: Porsche Unleashed(explained under GAMES compability on this site).

Any tips ?
The other thing is that quite often the installation procedure seems to fail. On diffrent games but in the same way as Baldurs Gate 2(Also explained on this site)
Anyone know why ?
I really hope they fix these two bugs. Then I would be a very happy gamer. Besides that I think XP suits my needs perfectly.

I run windows xp in TBird 1.2gb 512mb 133 and GeForce 2 pro 64mb
My tests:
1-Install Detonator XP 21.83 (fine );
2-Install BG-2 in minimal instalation (fine);
3-copy folder 'cd' into path of you install bg (for run more fast), all cd's 1,2,3 and 4.
4-If you have instaled full copy baldur.ini in other folder and reinstall in minimal instalation, after instalation copy baldur.ini to bg2 folder;
5-Install directx7 full, this works fine windows xp identify 2 versions of directx. 8)
I dont need run bg2 in compatibilite mode and i setup all graphics options, 3D acelerator, blins efects etc...
In the porshe rename file gimme.dll in game folder and its work fine with detonator xp 21.83 and directx7. I run this game in 1280x1024x32 very fast and cool...
