Is anyone out there running Lock On and/or Falcon 4.0 Allied Force with Vista64? I've read so many contradictory opinions (some from people not running Vista!?) and would like to hear from anyone that is runinng either succesfully. Thanks

Yes, runs fine for me on Vista64. No problems found.

F4:AF will run on vista 64, I've done it myself. It will however perform a bit better under XP, so I now use an XP/Vista dual boot, the XP partition being solely for Falcon.

Eddie,
How easy is it to install a 2nd OS? I've read that you should try to install the older OS first but I really haven't got the energy to rebuild the system again.

Easy as pie mate. You need to create a partition for each OS (of use a seperate physical drive for each) and then install as ususal. Yes you should install the older OS first, although I've read some people have had success installing XP after Vista.

It really is as easy as installing XP on it's partition, then installing Vista on it's partition. I'm running XP, Vista and Windows 7 on a triple boot and it took all of 90 mins to setup, including drivers.
