Sorry for the lack of replies, hope you have patience. Thief can run on Windows 7. You may have to edit the registry because the "My Documents" folder isn't where the game is expecting it to be for your Options settings and savegames. I'm not too familiar with the post-XP tweaks, but yes, it can be made to work if there's a problem.
Could you list your full system specifications, please?

Now you tell us.
First thing you put in your questions
is the system specs.Beleg Cúthalion on 11/7/2009 at 08:05
We got it working a couple of days ago but we had to core-optimize a lot of files in order to avoid a slow-motion Garrett (looked hilarious, though). I'll ask the Child of Karras to give a better report of what he did on his own but I remember it worked with Win7 RC and Dual Core.

It worked well on Windows 7 64 bit with Single Core Processor. However, on dual core there were some issues - even after using imagecfg to set the applications to only one core the HUD was pretty slow (scrolling through inventory or using weapons), however the rest of the game went fluently. Maybe things are different on Windows 7 32-bit where you can use Multicore Optimizers and stuff.
I didn't do any further tests, as I was also experiencing the sound driver issues (thanks to Terratec... >.>), and skipped back to Windows XP Prof.

Thats the point....how did you manage to play on Windows 7 64-bit ? I am having a tough time too getting it to work on win 7.

Windows 64 bit doesnt run 16 bit programs like thief 2!
Unfortunatly the people that design the running system want 16 bit to obselete!
It woul dbe interesting to recode thief 2 as 32 bit :sly:

64 bit in "general" doesnt support 16 bit programs
