Will 688(I) CBP run in Widows XP?

Thank you,

YES, it runs OK

At worst, you would need to run it in compatibility mode, but there are several other threads that cover this. Fleet Command is the game that has the most issues with modern systems. 688i is surprisingly cooperative with minimal effort.

I am running 688(I) NCP with at least it ran several minutes Longer.

I was playing "One Step at a time), tracked the tanker, found Victor II, lined a solid stack and fired on ADCAP, ran out to where fish went active Victor running and---CRASH. I am running compatibilty 98/ME, should I do something with Display and Input?
