Back about 15 years or so ago , i really wanted to play and compare the LS 98,99,and 2000 .
For Links 2001 and Links 2003 i used Windows 7. And in my explorations even back then ,i was having a hard time with the updated versions of Windows 7 giving me anomalies for Links 2001 , and 2003 in game play ,to the extent after several security updates , players would disappear , courses would crash etc.,
Links 2000 could be installed on XP and Windows 7 , but would run in a loop and Crash to the desktop and reloop over and over .
It was so frustrating that finally , In order for Links 2000 to play correctly i got an old updated Windows 98 Unit on ebay from an 80 Year old retiree . He had preserved its content since The Year 2000 . That seemed to be my ticket , and $200.00 later it showed up from Fedex on my doorstep .
Since then it is the only system i have for playing Links 2000 and all the Older EA PGA Tours ( PGA Tour 486 , PGA Tour 96 , PGA Tour Pro , PGA Tour Gold , PGA European Tour , The Seniors Tour .They run seamlessly on it .

Once i completed those , i bought a Brand New Windows XP System from Newegg , that had all the updates , and is running on a Intel i5 Processor and revamped memory system by a Japanese Builder to handle to old games like ( Tiger Woods 99 , 2000 thru 2008.
But then My Links 2001 and 2003 finally kept crashing so much i went to XP as well .These Games are all on the XP Unit .
I Do Not and will not ( get online ) to update those 2 systems .
That's how i have survived over the last 15 Years .
