Hey!

When I want to play Chritoph Kolumbus (german title, I forgot the english, sth. with E..., I guess... ahhh Exploration!) I have problems to read the text. It looks washy. Normally the font should be readable, cause it was on my longgone Win95 Pentium, no problem with the installation. I think it's a problem with XP and or DOSbox. Is there anybody, who has solved this problem, or has got a link or something else? I have tested 2 different versions, CD and Disk, same problem.

In Deutsch:

Also, mein Problem ist, das die Schrift bei Kolumbus total verwaschen ausschaut. Ich weiß nicht, wie ich das beheben kann und bitte um Ratschläge.

Thanks!

So you do play it in DosBox? Or not?

Have you tried VDMSound?
Have you tried to change into one of the three different view-modi that DosBox provides (changing it in dosbox.conf) ?

Argh! I hate Murphy's Law!
I deleted Kolumbus after my last try in summer and now the second 3.5"Disk reports some bad sectors - hmpf.
And I forgot about the CD - It does not work under XP, just Win95, maybe Win98 - I deleted this, too.
So far. "I'll kill that cat!"

Is there someone, who may send me a copy of the second disk: kolumbus.a01 is the corrupted File, please.


Thanks for helping, next time I'll ask after I tried the Disks.
