I know vista sucks but the new computer we just bought came with Vista and I'm trying to get some of my old games to work multiplayer (Duke Nukem 3D to be specific). I can get the game to run in DosBOX, but I don't know how to carry it from DosBOX to working with IC (our multiplayer thing we use).

It worked fine on XP before with out DosBOX, but now whenever we try to get it started on Vista all we get is an error that says "This program does not support full screen mode." We've tried tinkering with the compatibility and stuff but that hasn't worked. If we could get it with out DosBOX that would be wonderful.

Any help please?

What I did, and which solved many of my many problems with Vista, was to set up a dual-boot. Make a partition for XP, then install it.

WARNING: You REALLY need to look this up on the web. When you install XP, Vista will no longer be available UNTIL you run a program that is free for download, which will fix Vista and set up a boot menu.

I made a topic on this dual boot setup here: http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?s...st&p=286172

I am shamed...I apologize. I should be punished.

I hope I never end up having Vista

Unfortunately, you will in a few years time - the game developers already begin moving to DX10 and therefore Vista.

It's the same as was with each and every prior version of Windows since '95.

Trying to make Puredos game on Windows is difficut, trying to make it run on Vista is harder than hardest.

I suggest to make a Dos disk and run from floppy (change settings on Bios to make pc check A and then C), it is the right move also because many games needed a large amount of Conventional memory so you can handle the config.sys and autoexec.bat, deleting some eatingmemory programs.

Oh, how I deplore Vista, but, perhaps in time a good 32 bit emulator will be developed and zen will be once more reached. I'm not holding my breath, though.

How is the compability with DosBox and Vista?

DOSBox works on Vista, from what I heard. At least it usually does.
