I had dialup until 2003. The worst thing wasn't the speed -- it was that it would disconnect while I was downloading.
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.

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 ???? !!!!

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 haven't had any trouble with Galaxy and the games that I have downloaded to my Windows 7 computer. Galaxy 1 or Galaxy 2.0 ? Maybe the older version of Galaxy works better with Windows 7.

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 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

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

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