Entumed was built using the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft XNA

What versions do you have of those components?

Hello everyone,

if you have .NET 4.0 and XNA Framework 3 the game should in theory
work fine on XP, Vista, Windows 7 etc.
On 11/24/10, Lori Duncan
Hi Lori,
Well, the best way to find out is by checking in your control panel.
On XP it should be under Add and Remove Programs. If you are running
Windows 7 it will be found under Programs and Features. In either case
downloading .NET 4.0 and XNA Framework 3.0 should resolve any
dependency
What game is this your talking about? If you would let me know I would
appreciate it and where to get the game.
Thank you,

it never notes it when you bust, you just keep on hitting.
