Just a silly question...
Could anyone please tell me if, in case I upgrade to Windows XP, I will be able to still play SMAC / SMAX ?

Just a silly answer: I don't know.

IIRC, there were some old threads about problems/solutions, perhaps you can find something there.

As far as I know, you will be able to play it without a problem. But I don't have XP, so I'm merely reproducing what others said.

In any case, check out these threads:

Hope this helps.

No problem at all. I'm running XP, and I had to do a grand total of, erm, nothing special to get it working (PP, YMMV).

Don't you love acronyms?

Planetary Pack, Your Mileage May Vary. I'm getting good at this!

I can also confirm no problems in running smac/smax on XP, even with the no-cd crack in operation

Correct Alex! Give the man a cigar.

And yeah - forgot I was running the no-CD patch as well.
