I know this question has probably been done to death, but I can't seem to find a definitive answer anywhere on the forums or by searching on Google. I have read both that it does or doesn't run on xp. I obviously know that it is not supported just from the system requirements page but...
Yes, it can "run" on XP... but not without issues. I can happen that game will crash sooner or later and you are unable to proceed due to memory constraints. This can also happen with 32 bit versions of newer versions of Windows OS.
Ok, thanks guys. Looks like I am not buying this game, because I hate windows 8 and don't understand Linux. (Apple is ok, but their proprietary rights are very annoying.) I am kind of disappointed because I thought that the game would be supported for older systems when I first looked into it a year or so ago.
Yea, too bad you didn't go to Win7 when you could have...you'd be getting Windows 10 for free on July 29 2015, direct from Microsoft. In any event, if you can't use a 64-bit OS it looks like you're going to be out of luck in many games anyway, especially in the future. Even the lowly game consoles are running 64-bit OSes these days. Good luck!
It's very well known that I don't make mistakes, so if you should stumble across the odd error here and there in what I have written, you may immediately deduce--quite correctly--that I did not write it...
There are one or two things that might need looking up, but you can install a version from within windows (installs like a windows program, deleted just as easily, but isn't a virtual machine - it's a real linux install) to check it out.
What is Ubuntu and mint? Is it an operating system like windows xp? Or a program that runs in xp? I'm not sure I understand the link you posted, because it says it is officially supported by windows, and that doesn't seem to make sense. Googling Ubuntu brings up Linux software operating system, which doesn't seem to go along with your post.
Wubi is just the installer of Ubuntu via XP. Basically what you will have then is a dual boot installation. When you turn on your PC, you will be asked, which OS you want to boot. XP or ubuntu linux. Then you have both linux and Win XP on your PC.
I'm not sure if my computer is capable of running 64 bit at 4GB of RAM or not, haven't ever bothered to check because XP can't run anything greater than 2GB anyways. It's a 2.2ghz duo core processor--was top of the line when I purchased it 6 1/2 years ago--and it still runs fantastic. Now it's considered antiquated, not even 7 years later. That was after vista had come out and 7 was either just on the horizon or just barely out, so I specified tigerdirect.com to send me the latest with XP professional on it. I had hoped that windows would have learned to make an operating system in the past seven years, but I guess my hope was fallacious.
I know that there are extra spots in the tower for more ram, and of course, I could just put in larger chips. But it's all a little pointless--if I'm going to change OS entirely, then I would want to get a newer computer with a newer processor, because I still like XP, and I still have older games that I play in XP, such as Oblivion and Baldurs gate and even some old dos based games, like Bloodstone: An Epic Dwarven Tale (am I dating myself here?).
I know a few of those old games still have support for newer systems, but most of the ones on my pc don't. That may be why Wubi is the way to go, but it would still require some form of hardware upgrade. And an OS change.
Plus I may not be able to play any of the other new(er) games that I've had my eye on. Skyrim was the last one I looked at before I gave up hope. Then I saw PoE and I was like "whoah! Maybe there is a new game out there for me!" Unfortunately it sounds like it was just false advertising.
Download Speccy to know everything about the PC. A 6yo PC that was not a budget model or a notebook at the time of purchase back than shouldnt have any problems running the game provided you tweak XP to access 3GB ram. But if you want a guarantee that it will run, im afraid noone can give it. Memory usage of the game is about 1.7GB over here so no crazy values so you should be safe with 3GB. Dont bother with all that 64bit talk, the point of it is for the OS to access more than 4GB and that rig only has 4. The game itself is 32bit.
Pillars of Eternity *will* run on Windows XP and can be completed without problems - the only requirement is a modification to the boot.ini file as noted in this support article (specifically to add the /3GB switch and I would recommend the /userva=2900 switch also to minimise the downsides of /3GB - most important for software that uses PAE to access memory above 4GB).
After scouring the internet in search of answers, I've come here to see if anyone else is having a similar issue. Basically, when I try to launch PoE from Origin, it doesn't launch properly. All I get is audio, and nothing else. It literally shows my desktop screen and nothing else. I've tried putting the game into a windowed version to see if that helped, but it didn't. My graphics drivers are up to date, I've tried launching from within the PoE folder, I've uninstalled, re-installed..... so basically, I'm stumped. Any ideas? I've attached an image of what comes up when I try to load it.
Well from looking at your screen shot the POE window is indeed open or the tab wouldn't be there. Look at the tab, there are 3 controls on it. Click on the left control with the double window on it and see if that helps.
That's the thing, I can't click it at all. The cursor which comes up is the in-game cursor, and as such, I can't click it at all - since I'm still considered to be in-game. Similarly, I've tried altering the windows reg settings which is recommended by Obsidian, but it has zero effect.
The somber-looking, skintled brick, Gothic Revival, and sparsely-landscaped complex that served Ginter Park Baptist Church for almost a century was built of elements that date to long before 1920. Herein lies an intriguing saga of architectural recycling that begins downtown with a Presbyterian church on East Grace St. and, like much of Richmond history, involves the Civil War.
In April 1865, near the end of the conflict, Richmonders burned warehouses along the canal and river to keep munitions and supplies from the advancing Union troops. The fire spread and destroyed much of downtown including one church, United Presbyterian Church, located at the intersection of East Franklin Streets and Eighth Streets. In 1872 the congregation built a new church at the northeast corner of East Grace and Fourth streets and renamed it Grace Street Presbyterian Church. The locally-prominent architects of the new Grace Street Presbyterian structure were two brothers, Charles Dimmock and Marion Dimmock.
In 1906, however, the Gothic Revival structure was remodeled and modernized, attesting to the post-reconstruction economic recovery. The red brick exterior was painted white. On the spruced-up interior, decorative highlights included chandeliers and stained glass windows designed and crafted by the Louis Comfort Tiffany studios in New York. However, just ten years later in 1916, the Grace Street Presbyterian sanctuary was abandoned when the congregation merged with the Church of the Covenant. Newly-formed Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church built an impressive new house of worship at 1627 Monument Ave. designed by Peebles and Ferguson Architects of Norfolk. The chandeliers from Grace Street were reinstalled in this new sanctuary,
Meanwhile, a Richmond businessman, Ernst Farley, the president of Richmond Engineering Company, had purchased the vacant Grace Street church building, but not the Tiffany windows. Apparently John D. Rockefeller had sought to purchase them for an architecturally glorious edifice he was planning for New York City, The Riverside Church on the Hudson River at 122nd Street.
In 2017, members of Ginter Park Baptist decided that they could no longer maintain and operate so large a physical plant. The congregation now worships at 6100 Chamberlayne Road and Eternity Church is the current steward of this architecturally handsome place.

I am using the Evernote Web version for PC, latest version. Somebody at Evernote, for some reason, thought it would be cool to use a "fade" transition when you click the "New" button and it drops down to select a new note or a new task. Even though it take one second, it seems like an eternity.
I just got the new UI myself today. "Cool" does seem to be what it's aiming at; definitely not "productive" or "efficient." FWIW, the old method of double-clicking on the New button to immediately create a new note still works (not for a task, obviously). These forums are basically user-to-user, so no one here is able to change anything. (You have no idea of the chaos if we could!) But there is a feedback form for the new UI: You can leave your thoughts there.
