    Hi i'm trying to run redguard in windows 7,
    i have it set to winxp sp2,
    but when i try to play i get a box up saying,

    16 bit ms-dos system
    thissystem does not support fullscreen mode. choose 'close' to terminate the application.

    does anyone know how to get arround this please.

    PS. the game will run in dos box but because of its hybrid dos windows design it apparently allways crashes at one point in the game and there is no way around it, thats why i need to find a way to run it in windows,

    pss. i'm thick so please make the instructions EXTREMELY simple :).

    Thanks.

    Hi

    That game may not run correctly in Windows 7 so a few options are below

    Run DosBox HERE

    Try Windowed Mode as is adding at the end of the shortcuts Target field -window as in right click the shortcut to the game and then choose properties then in the target box add a space to the end of the text in that box and then this line -window
