can't run a bot on my OS

[R33l2r3al]

I can't seem to run the MTA bot by robotz on my OS because it's Windows Vista and the bot doesnt support the Vista OS. It was suggested to me to run a dual boot with another Os such as linux (however I'm not sure how to do that and I dont know Id be able to understand linux, ive never used it before) or to run a VM. I read up a little bit on VM's but it seems they're a waste of space and a hassle. If anyone can help me with this dilema I'd appreciate it.

EDIT: I am using Windows Vista Home Basic. Also, Windows Virtual PC 2007 does not support my version of Windows Vista, so that VM is out of the question. If anyone could provide an alternate solution, that would be great. (The Virtual PC 2007 only supported the Business and Enterprise related Windows Vista Operating Systems.)

Just use SCAR its better anyway.

 

Vista can't run several things. If you plan to bot with almost any bot, you need windows 2000 - XP. It's better anyways.

Just curious, but would anyone on here recommend using VMware as a VM to run XP so I may run the bot? I've heard a few people say VMware is pretty good so I was just curious as to what people on this part of the forum felt about it.

I use VMware and Tiny Xp beast edition as the os to run my autoers, but I use SCAR.

^^Hmmm ok thanks for the input, never understood SCAR though. I've tried quite a few times =\ lol. Oh well, anyone have anything else to add?
