Question

I just installed Windows XP. My game looks awful and my mic wont work

Answer

The main issues with XP/Windows2000 are based on the following: - XP provides drivers that override the drivers that you may prefer for your PC hardware - Some video cards need the exact drivers for the monitors to allow the colours to be recognized. - XP wants to limit your monitor refresh values to 60 Hz in OpenGL i.e. HalfLife and in D3D applications. This is hard on your eyes, limits fps to a max of 60 and may affect the colour / brightness. - The XP default drivers for some sound cards reset sound settings or can limit sound card applications.
