Hello,
I first used the search tool, but it appeared that nowone else had this problem before, so lets ask!
The game I tried to install was Asterix & Obelix, infogrames 1996.
I have Vista on my laptop.
Dosbox 0.72 ( it should work, according to the compatabilitylist )
First I just followed the steps described on wiki. Everything seemed to work just fine. I installed the game via dosbox. ( opening the file INSTALL.exe on the cdrom. Of course, after mounting a cdrom. )
Now the strange part:
When I tell dosbox to open obelixw.exe it says it cannot open it because it is a "windows NT windowed executable".
But when I first tried to install the game on the normal way ( when I had no idea of dosbox and the world was still simple ) I got the message that the game is not designed for windows NT. ( I have Vista ) ( I know it is anoter file then obelixw.exe, I just told you so you could understand my not understanding )
And when I just normally open the file obelixw.exe ( just by doubleclicking on it ) it does open, and I can hear the beautifull music and soundeffects ( jumpsounds, hitsounds, runsounds ), but there's nothing to see. Just a black litle window. ( I can also change the game settings like the hardness and the controls, player one ore two, but just no game to see. )
After installing I could change the sound card, but there was no option for changing the video card, so I guess that can't be it. I also tried all possible ways of changing the settings in compatability.
Did I forget anything? ( In this text, I mean. Anything else you must know? )
Please help me,
Andries
Are you a fan of me? No? hmm, maybe I first have to get famous.
