Dam steam sales.  More games I don't have time for or hard drive 
space.


I thought that the older games released on steam would have been 
tweaked to work on W7 32 & 64, but I found that is not always the 
case. Need For Speed Shift would crash when I tried to launch it. 
Searched online and found that it needs to be set to run in WXP 
compatibility mode. I did not think it was that old.
There should be a note in the Steam store game requirements list or 
some where that tells you what you need to do for the game to run with 
WVista, W7.
