Any issues I should know about when installing CS on windows 7 ?

Hey Terry! :smoke:

I recently upgraded to a new laptop PC running Windows 7.

A couple of lessons learned: :cool2:

1. Do a "clean" reinstall of the CS game. Don't try to migrate an earlier version (mine was WIN XP) onto a Windows 7 OS platform. Yes, you will have to "re-start" with the default EF/WF/RS scenarios... but you will save yourself some headaches by not seeing the dreaded "Error 486."

2. Windows 7 defaults to a bottom screen task bar that will "hide" some of the CS game information - like game turns and out of range messages. So, you need to auto-hide the bottom taskbar. Select Start > Control Panel > Taskbar and Start Menu > click on "Auto-hide the taskbar option" (under taskbar tab)

Hope my advice helps you avoid some of my "hair pulling" episodes with Windows 7! :eek1:

BTW... CS is very stable and runs well on Windows 7.
