I'd highly recommend you try Capitalism II. It's purely a capitalism simulation. There is nothing even close to fighting unless you count the general atmosphere of corporate warfare. I found it to have a steep learning curve, but once I wrapped my head around the intricacies of the very deep simulation, I was having tons of fun for weeks just seeing how much I could dominate the market with various goods. It's a fun experience, and you learn a bit about the economy as well. You can find it at reflexive.com or on Gametap. Enjoy!
Just last night I did a clean install of both Vista Ultimate and XP Pro on a new 500 GB HDD. Everything went smoothly with the installs. I did Vista first and made it my primary install, and XP second. However, after installing XP, I can't find a way to access my Vista partition! It simply boots to XP immediately every time I restart my computer. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Any way to fix this?
Alright, well I tried to do what you suggested, but it seems I'm in a technology-generation pickle for that. The computer I'm using now has only IDE Drive connectors and the computer in which the Drives failed has only SATA connectors, so I can't really switch them around...
Thanks for the response. My problem is that they aren't recognized in either installs, and when I first start up the computer the BIOS reports that there is a problem with the drives and suggests I check the cables, but the cables are fine...
Last night I went through the process of making a clean install of Windows Vista, and I sectioned off a 100GB partition on my 500GB RAID 0 array made up of 2 250GB Western Digital harddrives. I then went back to install Windows XP on the smaller partition, and I managed to format the harddrive, but then remembered I needed to get the RAID drivers on a disk before I could finish the installation, as I've lost the disk that came with my EVGA 680i Nforce board. Making the disk went smoothly, but when I went back in for my second attempt at installation, the partition formatted VERY slowly. I realized it would not be finished for hours, and so I went to bed. When I woke up, there was a message saying no drives could be found, and my Harddrives appeared to be dead! When I opened the case, an Antec P180, I realized that the fan in the harddrive compartment as well as the rear fan had stopped working as well. I tried every combination I could think of to see if at least one of the drives would be recognized, but when I run the Vista install disk. No drives are ever recognized... What can I do? Am I going to need to just order a brand new drive?
A user on the Steam forum gave me my answer. I simply needed to set Steam to launch in Administrator Mode. So for all Vista users out there, that's your solution. Thanks for the help.
