From what I have heard Windows XP has a whole different way
of handleing the GUI interface, that could also include the program
icon. On another topic, System Restore creates protected CAB files
that cannot be deleted therefore a reinfection of computer virus
is always just a reboot away. Also I have heard that Service Pak 2
security cannot be completly disabled, bad news for anyone who
wants to use Norton Internet Security or any other product like
that. Just wanted to know, which Linux desktop is best suited for
video games, is it Gnome or would it be some other desktop?
Which do you recommend? Your program was originaly designed
to run on Linux was it not?

Ren'Py is being developed under Linux, using the cross-platform python language and pygame libraries. It does not use any desktop-environment integration, so the whole Gnome vs KDE thing is totally irrelevant to it.
My own desktop environment consists of the gnome-panel, a version of sawfish with python bindings I wrote on a lark, XEmacs, a slew of gnome-terminals, and mozilla firefox.
Ren'Py games should work on any platform that pygame supports, perhaps with some minor fixes to ensure correct paths and filename cases.

Yes, System Restore does create protected files that cannot be deleted, but if you go into "System Restore", turn it off, reboot, turn it on, reboot...It creates a new, clean one to use.
And to turn off the Service Pack 2 security, go into "Administrator's Tools > Services" or type "services.msc" in "Run" and then Disable "Security Center"

I've been developing Ren'Py on Linux and Windows 2000, with some testing on XP. I suspect (but haven't really tested) that games written with Ren'Py will work on all windows from Windows 98 up, and will run on Windows 95 so long as you install the Winsock 2 update, which Python depends on.
At least from my perspective, there's very little difference between OSes, as Python and Pygame handle most of the platform-specific details.
For a new Windows system I'd probably get XP, if only because 2000 is already four years old, which is quite old for an OS. Then again, I've been running the same Linux install since 1997-8ish, so I'm perhaps not the best person to ask.
(I've managed 3 cpu upgrades, 4 hdd upgrades, and 3 major kernel revisions without needing a reinstall.)

No such luck, though I did find some nice discounts at
http://www.amazon.com its a lot more than just a
book store. The used and new section is worth a look
and a lot of times the software / music / books are in like
new condition.
Thanks for the info / advice.

The exe file works...But after creating the exe file, I find it to be 8kb smaller than the exe file that comes with the package. Also, I got this message at the end of the compile.
The following modules appear to be missing
['AppKit', 'Foundation', 'objc', 'psyco']
My question is...is it okay to use this new exe file?
