I have NR2003 with 8.1 Pro and seems to work fine with XP Sp2 compatibility mode set.

I am running Win7 home premium. After disabling DEP. NR2003 runs fine, no need to go to compatibility mode.

I am running Win7 home premium. After disabling DEP. NR2003 runs fine, no need to go to compatibility mode.

For me the game works fine without compatibility mode in OpenGL (at least when I tried the last time), but with DX it tends to crash quite often without compatibility.

All this may vary of course depending on the setup. I have Nvidia Surround setup with SLIed GTX670s and three monitors and there may be anomalies compared to those running single card and monitor.

In the end, it should work just fine. What I've read, performance may lack from XP. On the other hand, I wouldn't myself use XP anymore but at the most with non-networked computer as MS support and the flow of security patches has ended. XP is also far inferior compared to more modern Windows' in other aspects, so doing a upgrade is wise thing to do.

I've run NR2003 on win7 64 bit home premium and now running it on win7 Ultimate and never had any issues. I do run my games in compatibility mode Xp SP3 just in case though. I've had smooth frames and never any graphical issues before really.
