@Nick!: how do you get to run thief1? damn those ghosts were always so scary but i think they were just speaking polish.
do you need DOS box to run thief1 or can you just install it on XP and it will work fine?
@Knudde (Shab): funny you say it. recently a friend is telling me how awesome Arcanum is (he loves fallout).
@Willy C: i tend to agree. I LOVE FPS and this is why im not a console guy. FPS with a JOYPAD - thats just shit. 360 people will always bug me with "OMFG HALO3" - yes it does look nice but still you play it with a fucking JOYPAD
when is halo3 going to come out for PC anyways?
@-Slínka Claus-: Crysis looks VERY sexy and I want it. We have it lying around at work but I have not touched it yet. Crysis makes me consider if I should install Vista as well = DirectX 10

In Vista and XP you need to use the Run box to run "d:\setup.exe -lgntforce" or whatever the path to the install is.
The tricky bit is this: you need to wait... for a long time. It took about 30mins for me before the install actually started. I don't know why, but it all runs fine after that.
Once the game has loaded up, press ctrl+alt+del, go to the THIEF.EXE process, and right click it and click "Set affinity", make sure only 1 CPU is selected. This will stop the game crashing randomly. You need to do this every time you run the game.
