I tried to play "Jill Of The Jungle" on my computer (i have Windows 7) and when i start the game it shows the following error message:

"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application."

Have i done something wrong? How can i fix it?
P.S.:Sorry for the bad English.

I have already downloaded DOSBox, but apparently i did something wrong, because it's still not working.

Don't worry, you don't need a CD to use Dosbox.

Maybe you should consider using a frontend. They're designed to make it easy to run games: http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/

We don't support "abandonware" here.

Ask the "abandonware" site how to get it working.

I'm having a strong feeling this is supposed to be a joke, or someone trying to annoy us.

It's really simple to use. After you've installed it just use the add game wizard (Profile -> Add with wizard.. or F3) and follow the instructions. Jill is an old platformer and doesn't need much. D-Fend Reloaded also has extensive help file that should cover all the things. If you come up with any problems first read there and then ask, learning by doing is the best way.

Keep your hands off me you damn dirty ape.
