I am trying to play wizardry VI bane of the cosmic forge on my laptop computer. Unfortunatly every time i go to load the game I get a "system error: graphics mode not configured!" this program only has cga and ega and tandy video settings available. Running under DOSbox does not change the message. At this point i am willing to try just about anything.

there should be file "winstall.exe" where you can configure your graphic driver (and all the other stuff), try setting it on VGA/EGA graphics
