Hi there, I notice you guys are discussing MicroProse ... I'm trying to get European Air War to work ... it doesn't work on any NVIDIA graphics card with a driver after version 66.93 apparently ... I'm running a GeForce 9400GT with a driver version: 260.99 ... so I'm not going to be able to go back to version 66.93! You just end up with the Error Num: 7217 message ...

I'm trying DOSbox with no luck so far ... any suggestions?

It was originally a Win95 game requiring a 200Mhz Pentium II proc, 64MB of RAM, 3D graphics accelerator (Direct 3D or 3Dfx Voodoo), DirectX compatible sound card and DirectX 6.0 or higher ...

Any help appreciated ... thanks!

I already answered this post in the Dosbox section, but since this it the right section I do it here too. 😀

Microprose's European Airwar was/is very popular in the mod community and as such has quite a following. SimHQ provides a forum for the game.

And most issues can be solved using the latest (unofficial) patch, which you can get here:

cheers, 😉
