after i downloaded it and run the setup.exe, run the program, i still have to get like MSDOS 6.22 to make that work?
because i am planning to create Vesa graphic programs and other things.
the new CEO of Microsoft is sooooooo incompetent, that’s way the the company thought it not matter to do so.
causing more alienating the company’s relationship with it’s customer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
duh’!
if “we banned” together to tell Microsoft to change this “problem, you never know until try!
Thank You.

I don’t see Allen’s logic. Newest doesn’t mean best, and very few computer users want to “go with the flow” of Vista. Vista is less efficient and just a bunch of eye candy. Windows 7 might be the future of computing, but Vista was never part of it.

ALWAYS system resore before doing this

Couldn’t a safe solution to this be to run the program in safe mode. Then it automatically goes to a VGA resolution. I can’t test it because I’m only going to buy a Vista machine if my program works in Vista but it does work in Safe mode in XP.

Firs off i would like to say that, the last time i went to a car website people were not complainging about not being able to use leaded gass… think about it, ok good. so now that we all understand that vista. is a move in a direction. we need to understand that things that dont work in the new efficent envirnment, require emulation to . . . emulate the old technology. so old school logic and easy dos based programs are a thing of the past ( without these reworks ) so go with the flow and dont get left behind.

Option 2 worked, great.
I’d change properties to 80×25 on most programs before using this so the screen
may go black.
Thank you very much!

You might want to try Virtual PC 2007 or VirtualBox running MS-DOS. You can also run FreeDOS if you don’t have an MS-DOS installation disk.

Thanks so very much for the tip!

I wanted to play One Must Fall, one of the first games I ever played and Vista screwed me again.

Again, thanks guys!

I can’t get this to work with a GMA X3100/P965. I extracted the files with 7-Zip and tried running Setup.exe in compatibility mode for Windows XP (SP2). And yes, I did download the correct drivers. There is still a message that the drivers are not supported on this platform.

2nd option works just fine… especially when there’s a problem obtaining drivers for ATI from the website…

Microsoft Vista is just crap, best to upgrade to Microsoft Windows XP as all these problems were solved way back. Why the hell is Vista still attractive??????

2nd workaround works fine but had to do a system restore to get the original driver back

DOSBox works great, I can even get Jazz Jackrabbit to work with it on Windows XP and Vista! I haven’t tried it, but it might work on Linux.

I’ve tried the second solution, but I can’t find the “Standard VGA Graphics Adapter” in the list.
Please can someone helps me?
