Hi all, first timer here hoping someone else has had success loading and playing Star Wars Force Commander on a newer system.

I'm running on a Gateway P8705u FX with Vista and these specs:

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor1 P8400 (2.26GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 Cache)
4096MB 1066MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Memory (2-2048MB modules)
NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GTS

I'm trying to install Star Wars Force Commander using Vista compatibility mode and with DOSBox, following all the applicable instructions. So far, I've been unable to even install the game. At best, I get some major switching between display versions, even after changing my vertical sync settings.

Long story short, has anyone else had any luck playing Force Commander on Vista, and if so, do you have any tips?

Thanks!
Ron

About using dosbox to run Force Commander, one minor problem.

It's a windows game.

About Vista, I can't help.
Personally, I did get it installed using WINE under Linux, but I remember having a fair bit of trouble getting it to run, and when I did, I couldn't use the mouse buttons properly, so I gave up on it.
