| Re: Can't Run Old DOS Game I wonder if it will run in a Virtual PC? You'll need an operating system to install in the Virtual PC session, though. Try this page: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx I don't know if you can still get into the Virtual PC 2007 Beta, but with a DOS game, it might not be necessary.

| Re: Can't Run Old DOS Game Good idea. DOSBox is a great emulator. Haven't tried it in Vista, yet. But, that would run LL1 fine. (Just be sure to remove the condom after the hooker at the beginning of the game. Otherwise, the cop gets ya! :) Love that game!) -- Dustin Harper dharper@vistarip.com http://www.vistarip.com -- "roman modic" <modicr@astral-it.com> wrote in message news:%238X5XfXTHHA.4252@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hello! > > "JamesJ" <jjy@@adelphia_darwin.net> wrote in message > news:%23B4Bb%23WTHHA.996@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> Trying to run Leisure Suit Larry 1 but I get the error: >> 'System does not support full screen mode'.

| Re: Can't Run Old DOS Game I downloaded and installed DosBox and downloaded and installed what I believe to be the appropriate Java runtime. Problem is you need to integrate it into the Send To Folder which is fine but all the Send To Folders I can find are inaccessable. I've tried changinf the security settings for the Send To folder(s) but it won't allow me to do so. Very much considering removing Vista and going back to XP.
