    full screen

    A game under dos using the full screen is working fine under windows xp

    On a pc under windows vista the error message comes immediately after starting:
    "the full screen is not supported by this system".

    Question 1: is there a solution by changing the screen-configuration of Vista

    Q2:is there a patch program available by microsoft

    Q3:is the same problem occuring in windows 7 and 8

    The problem is with games developed with quickbasic 45 using the command
    " screen 8 ".After compiling you get a .exe program which you can run on a pc .
    These games run fine under windows 98 ,2000 and xp and not under Vista

    Hi,

    You will need to configure it & compile it in window mode rather than full screen.

    OK?
