I am too lazy to post twice. Besides, you could request the mods to move the thread there.

The compatiblity mode might work on some of the games but Darkstone relies heavily on DirectX API, some of which might not interpret well on WinXP. DirectX are supposed to be backward compatibility but Darkstone was written to run on very early versions of DirectX.

Anyway, I am not a programmer and I know nuts about API and stuff. It might be better for another member to volunteer to test it out on his/her WinXP.
