Hey, everyone was a noobie once.
You'd be surprised if I told you some of my own misadventures... hell, we probably should start a topic in 3xBlah to exchange the most idiotic things we've ever done to our PC's just to have fun laughing our asses off at our past stupidity. :amused:

[dosraider]

I wouldn't even dare to tell the weird things I've done .... and sometimes still do behind a keyboard.
:nuts:

[_r.u.s.s.]

Ewwwww, we mean techie stuff dosraider

Like installing RAM upgrade while the PC was still under power

[_r.u.s.s.]

Well... I have Vista Home Basic in my new dual core laptop, and until yesterday I was satisfied with it, but...

I tried to run X-COM on it an the screen went wild, i colud hear the game very well, but the image was compressed on the top of the screen... I would like to know a way to solve this problem, and to slow down the processor, because a friend of mine said that the scroll speed is too fast when running this game with powerfull new processors, he tried to run it witrh dosbox, but it didn't work because it is a Windows version.

Another problem appeared when I tried to install Wizardry vii... for WinVista isn't compatible with Daemon Tools... I would like to play these games in my new laptop, so I need the some help...

Please, don't say that the only way is dual boot... rs

Some users reported success through disabling hardware scaling in their graphics card options.

Otherwise, just use the DOS version of the game under DOSBox.

Wizardry VII is a DOS game, so use DOSBox to run it. Incidentally, DOSBox features an integrated virtual drive functionality through the IMGMOUNT command.

Oh really?

DAEMON Tools is an advanced application for Microsoft Windows which provides THE best optical media emulation in the industry.
!! THIS VERSION SUPPORTS 32 AND 64 BIT OS (Microsoft Windows XP, Windows2003, Windows 2000, VISTA) !!

Get the latest version friend, works flawless in Vista (all of them, 32 ànd 64)
if yours doesn't work in Vista it only means you have an outdated version, nothing else.
