Default SimEarth criticals ;) ...

I have been trying to install SimEarth, but I am having problem. They have asked me several times about some something (I think have something to do with my monitor): VGA, CGA, etc. But, I do not know which is which! Help!:confused:

This is odd, I see others mentioned it before yet I never had the problem myself.
Screenshot, please?

I know this thing. I got same kind of symbols long time ago when I played Sim Ants on true dos mode on Windows 98.

However, I have no idea how to fix this, but I think this is dos-only thing. Try windows version.
