your system. I'm not sure I've heard of Heroes 2, is that based on the TV show Heroes, or are you talking about Heroes of Might and Magic, or maybe... some other game? For Doom 2, look around the Internet for a Windows 9x update. A lot of people have taking the "now" open source game Doom 2 and made new programs that are Windows compatible. As for your other problems, sounds like you need to update your windows video card drivers. Look up your computer online, find out which video card you have and look for a driver update for it. You might also run Windows Update (in the control panel) and see if there's an optional hardware driver update listed, Vista usually installs a fairly recent version of nVidia and ATi drivers. Respond here if this doesn't help, include your computer make and model# as well as which game specifically you are trying to run. -A. | ||||||||||||

| Guest | Re: I can't play Heroes 2 on vista I think HOMM2 is a full-screen dos game. If so, you will need to download DOSBox and run the game from inside of it. If you have troubles getting it working just post your questions. Hope that helps! Mark "liveasagoat" <liveasagoat@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C7151626-164A-4BC6-8E5E-258A5064E407@xxxxxx

look for a program called DOSBox, it emulates an older DOS computer and lets you run old games (albiet poorly). Might let you get the game going. Good luck, Andy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
