screen help

Post by MidnightStar »

Hi,

I'm new here - I was wondering since I just got the 4 pack from Amazon.com (I lost my other pack) yesterday I started playing it and I noticed the game appears smaller (not in full screen) on the PQ1 vga, PQ2, and PQ3.(the game appears dead center surrounded by black) PQ4 appears in full. Well I found my other one today and I thought they were all in full so I uninstalled the one I got yesterday and put in my new one (and install it)... and the same thing happened.

Is it my disc or the computer? :?

Thanks!

If this is the 2006 collection, be sure to apply the patch. It will address many of the problems with this release.

Well if it's not full screen - I believe what you want to do is press ALT + ENTER. This will put the game in full screen - though just be advised, if you have a wide screen monitor it may look odd - and it may appear a lot more obviously pixelated if you have some huge resolution beyond 1024x768.

She said it was surrounded by black. She probably mostly needs to have DOSBox updated and a proper dosbox.conf.
