![]() ![]() Lastly if these all do not work then you can always go back to locking up how to run windows 95 in dosbox it also comes with some ready made profiles for many old games, so its another thing to possibly explore. ![]() It has alot of settings and such to play with -basically you start it then right click on its window and create a new entry and you just then play around with all the extra compatibility settings (and it has alot) and you just enter the path to the game exe etc. The other option may be to use DXwnd, it can be also useful for playing old games especially ones that are finicky about screen modes - it basically enables one to run the game in a window. I wonder if it has anything to do with resolution? one thing i know is that both the games achtung spitfire and Over the Reich dont react so well to high screen resolutions - i have found that the games are best with desktop res set to 1024x768 - have tried tinkering with resolutions? I am not sure what the "can not set screen mode" pop up means, but it sounds like something that would have a workaround Hmmm, sorry i wish i had windows 10 to work with (actually i did try the free upgrade with win 10 twice but on both occasions it was a buggy mess and caused so many program issues i downgraded as it was just easier than a full reinstall or something) Thanks so far Agathosaimon for your help, we almost got it going! With the CD there´s a DirectX folder were I can find the "d3drm.dll" file, if I copy that to the installed BoB (Program Files/Talonsoft/BoB root folder, the "d3drm.dll" pop-up dosent show up any more but then I get a "error can not set screen mode" pop-up screen Sometimes though the installer has to go in a different spot (usually whereever the setup.dll file is, but just experiment around with it)ĪLMOST! Ok, thanks! As I said.almost! The game install´s but when I want to run it a pop-up window opens with a "d3drm.dll file is missing". I have done this for heaps of my old games to great success Oh right, well i have a trick to get around the problem of games with old 8/16bit installers - it can work in alot of instances but not always -anyhoo - get a 32bit installer online, such as the ones here:, and then just copy over the contents of the cd into a new folder, it doesnt really matter where the folder goes it seems, and then just replace the setup.exe with the 32bit one and then run it and then the game will install. ![]()
