Hi, I'm having problems playing the old dos game, Earl Weaver 2 baseball, on my new computer. I had no problems playing the game on my old computer while using Dosbox. I had to switch to a new computer, which has Windows Vista as the operating system. When I tried to play EWB2 through Dosbox, I had problems. There was a message that read "unable to open graphics driver". Does anybody have suggestions on how to fix my problem. I appreciate any help. [/img]

If your using Vista and your DOS game isn't in your profile then you'll either need to set permissions on the directory where your game is located or you'll need to run DOSBox as administrator to play games properly.

1) Update to DOSBox 0.72.
2) Switch to output=ddraw.
