Post subject: can't play any DOS game |
 |
|
i have downloaded quite a few DOS games but not a single one of them work. Yes, i do have DOSBOX and yes its running.
So when i click on the game or any DOS game it says "This system does not support full screen mode." i clicked properties and went to the screen tab and un checked full screen and clicked windowed and it does not work. note i have DOSBOX running. I am running windows vista and ive also tried running as admin doesnt work, and ive tried running in compatibility mode and does not work.
Is there anything else i can try |

First step DOSSBOSS -(what's in a name lolz)- is to set up dosbox 0.72 properly, read and apply this:
http://www.dosgames.com/forum/about10437.html
Second step:
"Quite a few dosgames" .... One game at the time , yes? And maybe you could tell us what game? Or do you f*cking expect a specified and elaborate howto for some 9500 dosgames? IN YA DREAMS. |

Details.
All your mount lines.
All your inputs.
ALL of them, and detailed.
What's the response of dosbox? |

Hmm perhaps I can help a bit ...

... So when i click on the game or any DOS game |
He's not saying he's running the game IN DOSBox ... it sounds like DOSBox is running, and he's clicking the game in Windows Explorer. Which needless to say won't achieve the intended result ... |

Hence the
"All your mount lines.
All your inputs. "
We'll soon know, or never, who knows  |

It's already amazing he has dosbox running.
With a bit of luck he blowed up his PC and our problems are over and done.
