Old CM x1 games and Windows 7 - Fubar - 03-19-2014

Hi all,

Been missing the good old days of playing CM x1 as im not to taken with the newer CM x2 games (although they are good they just play differently). I have a question about the older titles and more modern OS.

Will the older CD versions of the games play on Windows 7? I seem to remember trying them on XP and having troubles (random crashes and resolution issues), so before i go on an adventure into the loft looking for them thought id ask the guys who still play. :-)

As another thought are the new digital download versions from Battlefront different in any way and are they a better choice for newer systems?

Thanks in advance for any help.

CMx1 games work on my system. I use Win7 64bit+SP1.I have only the Compatibility mode for CMx1 prepared for Win XP Service Pack 3.
But also the motherboard and graphics card is important.I think ATI chip make problems.Nvidia chipset is better.
