Courageous Grand Master

I apologise if this is in the wrong forum, but I have a minor question. I'm interested in buying Dawn of War for the pc with all the expansions included. The operating system is XP. I was wondering if It would work with windows 7? Apologies for my lack of technical know how, but at least I know a C64 inside out!
Thanks for your help.

Tali'Zorah: I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.
Commander Shepard: Well, I care deeply about the quarian people.
Tali'Zorah: It's good to be back on the Normandy.
Commander Shepard: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
Tali'Zorah: Hmm.
Garrus Vakarian: Uh, I was there when you two had your thing, remember? Just get a room and work it out. |

The first one with all the expansions added on. It's at a bargain price on Amazon.

Not sure about this. I run DoW 1 on my windows seven without any compatibility mode that I know of and it runs well.

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

I can vouch for this too. You should have no trouble running it on Seven.

Same here. 64 bit 7, no problems and no special tinkering to get it to run.

I run all four games perfectly on 7, 32-bit through Steam. Should work perfectly.

yeah I had to run in compatibility mode or i got horrifyingly bad performance but that was probably due to eyefinity punching dow1's graphics system in the balls over and over since it doesn't understand it.
