Ok so i'm finally up and running again...kinda...

Awhile back i was talking about ordering parts and building me a new computer and blah blah blah....well towards the end of October my old computer started f*cking up and i had planned to wait until Black Friday to order parts. That meant one whole month without easy internet access for me...and well that just doesn't go well for me. So I tried to live with my PSP for internet and well...that just sucks. So i went out and got a new laptop...nothing great....it's an HP Pavilion dv6-1355dx running Windows 7 of course. Sadly this is a huge upgrade from my PC that took a sh*t...

But anyways....to the main point of the topic....I'm lazy....and I need some things....so if anyone could help me out here i'd appreciate it. So let's get down to business.
I need the following:
-Links to any patches/things that i may need to make my TS and other C&C games run on Windows 7. (so like RA2/YR and maybe even CnC1)
-A link to all TS modding tools. Most importantly FS and it's stuff.
-umm can't remember the other crap...i'll get back to you on that....

but anyways....i'm back-ish and will hopefully have production up and running soon....for i had an idea one day while tinkering around on my semi-functional sh*t canned old PC.

So yea. thanks ahead of time to anyone who tries to help me out here.

I realized the same about Windows 7 and got back to good old XP. I did this because I will get backwards compatibility and since I'm used to XP. It will still be supported for years to come, and thus I'm just gonna stay with XP for a long time. I suppose you would enjoy the same.

If you are lucky to get all C&C's working with Windows 7, then do enjoy it.

C&Cs are compatible with Windows 7 (at least by community patches) and most other software work with Windows 7, because pretty much everything compatible with Vista (even drivers as far as I know) is compatible with Windows 7, at least with the 32-bit versions.

I think I'll switch to Windows 7 after a few months.. I've seen it running on two computers so far and it seems to be generally a lot faster than XP (just compare the boot/shutdown time, for example).

Although Microsoft will continue supporting XP with updates until 2014 I think that many software developers will cease supporting it a lot sooner. Especially the newest games since some of them will start requiring DrectX10.
