| | Re: trying to play old game with ms dos MSDOS is a Pre 1995 Operating System, it is no where to be found in Vista, which has a command line interface, it looks like DOS, but it is not. Your best bet is an emulator such as dosbox. http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 How to Post http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "shayla1805" <shayla1805@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F589827D-75CA-4075-A42A-2D2765EF82EA@xxxxxx Quote: >i bought an old micro machines game from a charity shop and i had to >install > it using ms dos, which i have never used before. i think i installed > properly, but now when i click on the game to play, it comes up with "this > system does not support full screen mode. choose close to terminate the > application" > i tried using the windows compatibilty thing but got really confused > any one know what to do?! > thanks, x |
