I didn't see anything at that site.

Do you mean you saw nothing or nothing that helped?
If you could not see anything, I can just tell you about some of the ideas.

Change Program Compatibility mode for the game

 

[bmarker]

yeah I couldn't understand, they said about black screens. my system brings up a box that says cannot run in full screen mode. where would I change program compatiability mode for the game? again I cannot get to the point where it will install all the way

Hello Bmarker!

Can I please respectfully ask you not to double post in the future? cannot run in full screen mode error - Tech Support Forum

We are all volunteers, and double posting just means that the time of two helpers goes into posting the same information, where we could have been doing something else, possibly even for somebody else.

Thank you very much for your co-operation,

sorry it doesn't appear to me that I am "double posting" I had replied to the first help response?

Maybe you could right-click the icon of the program you are trying to run and click Properties->Compatibility
Then try to fiddle around with the settings or running as Administrator.

 

[bmarker]

well if anybody knows of a free emulator to run windows 95 or windows 98 stuff on windows vista please reply

 

[RaNdOmCoMpUtEr]

just right click the software thing you are trying to run and set it to run as windows 95

 

[bmarker]

tried

 

[RaNdOmCoMpUtEr]

Oh, it doesn't work?

 

[bmarker]

nope. still said the same error.

 

[RaNdOmCoMpUtEr]

so nothing helped?

 

[bmarker]

nothing I can find or figure out yet. the program is duke nukem 3d.

 

[RaNdOmCoMpUtEr]

i love that game!

 

[bmarker]

i could probably figure a way to "give it to you" if you want, but I cant figure out how to get it to work and I havn't played it for welp long time myself and welp I don't care if it dum or not dum cause I wanna play it anyway. welp let me know.

 

[RaNdOmCoMpUtEr]

Right click the program file and go to properties there should be a box to check to run it in compatibility mode, though I think it only gives XP mode as an option.
