Has anyone explained how to register the gameux.dll yet? I do not mess with the gaming side of Srv08 since I am just trying to make sure all apps work. Can you explain to me how to properly register it?

Haven't you looked at the http://www.win2008workstation.com/ main page for a while? Some time ago I added a tutorial about how to register gameux.dll in srv2008 x86 / x64! ;)

Another 2 games that worked perfectly, Zuma Deluxe and Anarchy Online.

I would even go as far as to say the performance of Zuma Deluxe is even better than in Vista..

Lol, I run an old Prescott P4 [3.2GHz] and 2008 is a hell of a lot faster than Vista with EVERYTHING! I also find that games are just as compatible as Vista. My older favorites such as Age of Wonders Shadow Magic, GTA2 [with the DMUSIC.DLL fix] and my current favorite game - SPORE - work 100% for me. They are all faster than the evaluation copy of Vista SP1 I have/had!

This site/forum rocks.
