I always feel good when it sticks to the 1 hour per GB schedule

Happiness is 1 hour per GB!

How about doing medical transcription from home while on dial-up and getting disconnected while in the middle of listening to a doctor's dictation of an operative report? That's how I started out with the job around 1996. It was a nightmare that almost gave me a nervous breakdown. The stress was unbelievable.

I simply can't imagine! Now entire businesses are run and carried out over the internet!

Well, the game works fine for me in Windows 10 using the Galaxy. I played for awhile, got out, shut my computer down, rebooted, played some more. I have made it to BoneTown! Not that I needed another game to play. I still have two other adventures going plus a casual

That's good news, oldbroad

And I'm still enjoying my Non-Galaxy version

Today I received a final email from GOG's Support Team - containing a sentence that said this :-

"GOG GALAXY is no longer supported for your Windows 7 system. The minimum system is now Windows 8."

However, on the download page for the game it says :-

"GOG Galaxy requires Windows 7 or newer. Download size 1MB"

Rather confusing ???? !!!!

Doesn't that just mean they won't help you too much if you're using Windows 7? I've got it on my Windows 7 and that is what I recently played The 7th Guest on and had to update the game using the Galaxy with no problem. I also updated The 11th Hour which I intend to start soon (so don't know yet if there will be a problem with it or not).

GOG Galaxy no longer officially supports Windows 7 - that's all that it means. It doesn't necessarily follow that it won't work on Windows 7, just that GOG is not going to offer tech support for it if you run into problems.

I am surprised that they haven't changed the info on the download page.

Right, Marian. I see what you are saying.

But it surely would be much more helpful to have that info posted on appropriate download pages.

I would probably not even have tried to use it for the Willy Morgan game had I known

I'm just hoping now that the few games I did download using Galaxy - and haven't played yet - WILL work

I sure hope they will all work, Mad! As I said before, I haven't had any trouble with Galaxy and the games that I have downloaded to my Windows 7 computer. Fingers crossed.

Galaxy 1 or Galaxy 2.0 ?
Maybe the older version of Galaxy works better with Windows 7.

I have used both versions and am presently using Galaxy 2.0. No problems thus far with the latter.

I wasn't aware there was more than one version, Jenny100.
So is the old version still available - and how could I find it ??

I found something about that here
https://www.gog.com/forum/general_beta_gog_galaxy_2.0/gog_galaxy_12

Go to
https://www.gog.com/galaxy?par=1
Scroll down and look in the lower right for a link to the "web installer" for the old Galaxy.

Thank you, Jenny100 !! I'll investigate later

I forgot to come back and ask ....

I stopped Galaxy Client from running in my "start up" files (booting up my machine) as I'm not currently playing any of the games I downloaded with it.

Is that OK ??

And do I just re-include it in "start up" when I DO decided to play one ??

Thanks in advance for any info

When you are in Galaxy, click on the gear icon in the upper lefthand corner, then go to Settings. In Settings, click on General and on the righthand side you will see an option to launch GOG Galaxy at system startup. If the box is checked, just uncheck it. That way GOG Galaxy does not start up when you are booting up your machine. If you want to use Galaxy after that, just double click on the GOG Galaxy icon on the desktop. This is how I have it set up, anyway.

I just unchecked it from the startup menu in Task Manager. When I launch a game, it launches Galaxy.

Marian, I don't see that option when I open the Settings in the Galaxy.

Draclver, Galaxy Client Service or GOG Galaxy, or both?

Mine did not used to start up automatically but somehow it started to. I sometimes just exit out of it if I remember.

Hi Mad! You always ask good questions that I need answer to!

Oldbroad, I left out a step on finding the launch option I described and I edited my note accordingly. You need to click on General after clicking on Settings.

Oh Marian. I looked under General also but did not see it. Just looked again, and there it is OF COURSE!

Thanks very much Marian and Draclvr .... and glad to be of service oldbroad

Does Galaxy have to be running when you play a game?

No, it does not.
