Post by JarHead gamer38 »

Windows Whistler build 2296 is a beta build of the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. And as a beta, it's not supported.

No beta versions are supported. I thought I was clear the first time...

I had forgotten about Whistler. Apparently the name came from a skiing spot across the border in Canada where the devs go skiing.
