TinyXP Rev 3 & Steam

    I just put TinyXP on my gaming system as it was recommended to me by a mate. I play mostly Steam games, and I'm having a ridiculous amount of trouble with Steam and I have a feeling it has to do with the lack of extra drivers.

    Basically, I'll open Steam and there's a 15% chance that it will load properly. The rest of the time, it loads in the system tray, and it'll load in the taskbar but if I click on it it won't come up at all, or if it does come up, when I try to minimize it it won't go back down or open any new windows.

    Anyone know what might be missing? I REALLY can't be bothered going through the hassle of getting a new copy of proper XP, so this is all I have..

    Not sure how long this thread will last considering the administration's stance on warez..


    (That said, it worked fine for me.)

    You don't necessarily need 'extra' drivers, just the correct ones. Are you sure you have them all correctly installed and up to date?

    As long as he has a valid xp license then I don't believe there is a problem.
