Does your office PC have corporate controls on games etc? Do you have the latest WiR 3.3?

No corporate controls
I downloaded ver 3.3 today

i cut and pasted old posts:

Please see my prior posts on using DOSBOX, a dos emulator. It includes ega bios level font and graphics
support, and also maximizes dos conventional memory (useful in WinXP). It allows WIR to be played inside
a window or full screen. Download current version here:

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1

There is a learning curve; please read instructions (really very simple vs. the learning curve for WIR). It is the only
way WIR (or PACWAR) can be played on many modern laptops.

Speaking of dosbox...

IMHO a very helpful tool in order to bypass the learning curve for dosbox is: D-Fend.

Check it out!

Thank you...I downloaded dosbox and printed the instructions and voila...the game works...Much appreciated[8D]

I've got dos box running, but the size of the box is incredibly small. Is there a way to increase the size of the box without decreasing the resolution of my screen? Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

i believe ALT-ENTER does the trick...
