I can't play this game in fullscreen on vista for some reason. It says "this system does not support fullscreen mode." It works fine on my other comp, which runs XP. What gives? Can somone help me with this, it's very annoying.

Works fine on Vista for me. Did you download the Abandonia version of the game? Looks like you have the DOS version, if that's the case try DOSBox.

As written Vista does not support fullscreen mode. Each program/game which uses DOS can't be shown in fullscreen, not even the Command Line can't be.

As mentioned by zirkoni - you can try to use Dosbox. Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to use it

two questions that bother me and i can't find answer for.

i know this game is also based on chance. however i find it strange - a few times i started with character i can't even get to level 2. there are just two halways form the room i started in and that's it. i wasn't archeologist or somethign with a pickaxe and such. my quesiton is is it possible that the game becomes completely impossible to finish in it's iteration?! in a way that you are doomed from the start? i mean i know it can be very very hard to finish. but impossible form start. that would be kind of stupid.

another quesiton i can't find the answer to is pets. i am aware of their usefullness, but what bothers me is that they keep going arorund instead of following you. they are just so easy to loose. and you spend a lot of time waiting for them and such. that's a bit silly... my quesiton is is there a trick with keeping them near you?

Yeah, I also got stuck in a level. Tried searching, found some hidden doors - but leading nowhere. Tried pickaxe, only to find that this rock is too hard for digging. Is it possible to dig a hole down to another level?

EDIT: OK, I found the reason, I need to go back (up) a bit...
