I searched the forums but couldn't find the answer to this one.
I managed to install Windows 3.11 for Workgroups under DOSBOX. I want to use it to run a very old Windows game (it won't run under DOS). When I attempt execute the game it says it requires 256 colors, so I go back to Windows setup and attempt to install one of the 256 color videos but none of them work. Is there a trick to this? Since DOSBOX emulates DOS and I get 256 colors in DOS games, why cannot Windows 3.11 load a 256 video??
P.S.
Should I actually get this working, is there a shortcut I can make in a BAT file or something to load the game inside Windows without having to run it manually? I mean like "dosbox c:\windows\win.com -run wingame" or something like that? Sorry, I know that is two questions. The first is the most important.
