"Full screen mode"

[TS_Allen]

Hello all,

I recently downloaded a few old favorites, including Empire II- The Art of War, to play in my spare time. However, every time I run the .exe files, I get an error message saying the games don't work in "full screen mode." I have a double monitor setup, but that doesn't seem to effect the game as when I remove my laptop from its port I get the same error message while in single-screen mode.
What can I do to troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks,

~TS

Every time i try to change to full screen it gives me an error saying that it cant change to full screen using the settings. Doesnt matter what resolution i set it to, it still wont change out of windowed mode.
