So, I updated to Vista the other day, and I've run into a problem with my games (which worked absolutely fine under XP). When I try to launch the .com or .bat files, I get the following error:
This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose "close" to terminate the application. Yes, I could use DosBox (I've tested it and it works fine). However, I would like to play the games in fullscreen mode - and, for some reason, I can't get DosBox to emulate fullscreen. So, if anyone has any kind of suggestion for my issue, I would greatly appreciate hearing it. Cheers |

Ummmm...I am having the exact same problem, altho I am not figuring it out. Any insights or suggestions would be useful as I am not very good good at this kind of thing......but have enjoyed playing these killer games on XP...and dont want the fun to stop.

I have that problem as well. :wallbash:
Games that worked fine under XP won't work under Vista. I just get the 'This system does not support fullscreen mode' message. How did you solve it? |

hey folks - for those of you who were wondering how I solved this problem...I used D-Fend. Its a GUI frontend to DosBox, is very user friendly (no command like shenanigans), and works just fine on Vista.

Both methods are great but I would suggest for no-Direct3D/X or accelerated games the virtualization way (just a Virtual Machine).
