Windows Vista help


So I just downloaded PoR and when I try to run it, I get an error message saying I cannot run it in full screen mode/doesn't support full screen mode. Any help to fix this?

Welcome Bouv! emoticon

Are you running the DOSBOX Emulator? You need to run DOSBOX in order to get DOS programs like Pool or Radiance to run on modern computers.

See my recent post in response to user Karab for info on how to get PoR running with DOSBOX.

Let us know how things turn out. emoticon

I actually got it to work, though just a tiny screen. Great to be playing again emoticon

Awesome! PoR was such a great game. It's always such a blast to play it even after all these years. They don't make many games like these any more.

Feel free to post any pics of your PoR team here.

Also if screen resolution size is an issue, you might take a look at this DOSBOX thread.

Have fun, Bouv!

Even after al those years, these games (plus Wasteland) are still my favourites.
