Question Can't play this game

It say the system does not support full screen when I try to open the game. My OS is VISTA. Do I need another software to make it work?
I played this game when I was kid and miss this game so much... please help me.

Correct. This game won't work directly in Vista, but you can run it in DOSBox (and DOSBox works in Vista just fine).

Thanks. I am now trying to do that but I found all the code is quite complicated. I have my game folder called "OLDGAME" in C drive and I type mount C C:\OLDGAME then goto C:
and CD PWAR and typed pwar.exe
but then I couldn't open the game...it says "Please install your CD-ROM device driver and insert Jurassic war CD-ROM
What should I do next?? I am sorry if I have this question in the wrong place
Thanks

If I remember how I put this together, in the game directory there should be a file named pwar.bat or pw.bat (don't remember for sure, it's been a while). Run it and the game should start normally.
