Does this work for anyone?
Windows 8 strange things and 3d faster in window
I just ended up using vmware player for windows 7 to play some of the games that dont work in windows 8
but the only problem is now I have to msi after burner to control the fps in vmware because some of the games will play with turbo speeds.

You might give it a try without the VM Tools installed: that way some of the extra acceleration won't be enabled.
You can even partially install the tools (deselecting components during install). In some cases the SVGA graphics gets way accelerated and some of the older games run better with 3D acceleration disabled in the VM.
What about dual boot configuration?
I have Windows XP-Vista-7-8.1 on my computer...
Also, I have a P2 machine with Win95 and dual soundcards too.
How come. It's like Vista, but sucks less...I'm back on Vista now for the foreseeable future until there's a proper fix (Don't like Windows 7, long story).
Yeah. I have similar feelings. Although booting is far quicker and they decreased the stupid winsxs bloat with 8.1. (I got like 8+ gigs space freed up after installed it)but it just seems stupid to be running an OS on my PC which doesn't do half of what I would like it to.
10??? what happened to 9 ???
I think avada is asking if Windows 10 has the same problems with older games than Windows 8/8.1.you asre in the wrong thread here you know? Thisd is about old games

I'd be interested to know that too, although I doubt we'll see any change...If anyone with the Windows 10 preview can test some of the old games which worked under 7 but got funky under 8, that would be nice.
It's a shame than most of them work better under Linux with Wine than under Windows 8...
This says to me, has anyone tried win 10 yet? Says nothing about games in win 10. As I have not seen Win 9 yet, thats why I queried it.Anyone try windows 10 yet? Did anything change or is it the same as in 8/8.1?

I am trying out Windows 10 and sadly the same issue from windows 8 remains. It is really early so we still have that hope. There is a feedback section where we can tell MS some feedback and i reported the issue. Really weird issue. I think it has to do with metro and worrying about multiple devices because in window mode the framerate will change. Who knows,i just hope they fix that issue.Anyone try windows 10 yet?
