Does anyone know of any problems I'm likely to face when I load Red Baron onto Windows 7?
Thanks

At the moment I personally do not. A friend of mine says RB runs great on the Win7 Betas he has been using.
I am waiting for my upgrade disk and will report back what happens.
I've installed it many times on Win7 from gog.com and it runs just fine, I have Ultimate 64bit
It wont run for me at all. I have home 64bit. It gets past the intro video and crashes, and Ive attempted to run it on each of the different compatibilities
I just upgraded to Win7 from Vista and except for Logitech Profiler not recognizing my Logitech JS at moment (going to reinstall) the game runs fine (or at least seems to in my 15 minutes of testing).

I was having the same trouble in Vista. This is what got me past it:
Please try to run the game in window by changing the shortcut's value
to: [ "C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Red Baron Pack\Red Baron
3D\Baron.exe" -window ].
RB3D does not want to run in DD mode in Vista. By using the -window, I was able to set the game to Glide mode (with help of a wrapper.) and can now play the game.
On Pro 64 bit, Red Baron 1 works just fine, have yet to try RB#D, but I will post as soon as I do
Tried RB#D and it works save for one non-fatal error. The colour in the main menu reverts to 256 colours most of the time. During game play goes back to normal. I will try to find a setting that prevents this.
Jadeus,you said it gets past the video and crashes, do you get an error message? Or does it just shut down?
