Has anyone seen this problem?

Post by Strawfoot »

Well, I have figured out how to load WIR via DOS to my old Win 98 laptop, but now when I go to open the game it appears in a window about half the size of the screen. I have tried everything I can think of, yet cannot enlarge the screen.

Those units are tough to see when they are so small. Can anybody give advice, or some direction? I am also willing to try and play by email with anyone who seeks an opponent. I DO have experience playing this game...

Damn, is it that easy? Alt-enter? I had this problem for one year when I used my old IBM Thinkpad. However, I got used to it...

How do I enter that? Is it just the letters 'f' 'n' & 't' all at the same time? Or is it one of the "F" keys at the top of the keyboard?

I don't remember seeing an "fn" key... Thanks for your reply.

Mike, If you have an "fn" button - click on it... (On this keyboard it’s down on the right...)

i would be absolutly shocked if ALT-ENTER doesn't work in dosbox for ya! it only works if you have the game window selected. and you press ALT-ENTER again to shrink it again.
