FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

When I start the game, my screen turns black and I get returned to Windows / my Windows freezes.


Please try to start the game in the compatibility-mode:
Some DOS, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 games won't run directly under Windows 98/2000/XP before you make the following settings that will make the games compatible with your modern Windows system: Right-click the executable file of the game (usually .exe .com or .bat) in your windows explorer. Open "Properties" >> "Compatibility" and set it to "Run this program in compatibility mode" (Windows 95).
Optionally you can "Set resolution to 256 colors" if you still experience problems with the game.
