Topic: need help with running V4V series under XP
3 DEC 2005 at 4:40am paul36 Centurion Online Can anyone give me some tips for running the V4V series under Windows XP? I've tried every setting possible and it just comes up in a blurred screen. Or do I just have to rig up my old 98 desktop again and play on that?[&

Also download a windows frontend like this to make DOSbos easier to manage. http://members.home.nl/mabus/
Will help you play many many old favourite games under XP in no time.

isplay>Setttings>Advanced>Troubleshoot and lower the hardware acceleration down from Full to None.

I have managed to run quite a few DOS games on it: Dragon Wars, Age of Rifles, Panzer General.
4 DEC 2005 at 3:08pm paul36 Centurion Online Thanks for the tips guys, dosbaox and Dfend seem to do the trick, I just have one problem now with it running on full screen, the mouse dissappears. and I can't run it, other than in a smaller screen.[&o] Fahren, Funken, Feuern!!
