GrImWoLf

Depends on the game. For games that are run in DOSBox, you can press Alt-Enter to switch to windowed mode.

thnx guyz i will try that i will look for a newish game to buy and see if there is any difference :) it was theme hospital and a couple of the free one you get when u join, i'll have a look now for a newer game..... once again thank you for ur help.. amd love the site :)

GrImWoLf :)

that has fixed the problem ath Alt+enter only thing the dosbox thing a bit small lol cheers guys :)

Before you do that, I might be able to help!

Theme Hospital does have a super low res mode which you might be stuck on by accident. Does it look the same when you play it as it does in the screenshots in the store page?

no it looks nothing like the screenshots on the store page that looks very clear... i will take a screen shot and post it :)

Ohh! That's just what the menu looks like, I had the game when I was about 10 and it always looked like that AFAIK. Once you start playing it should be nice and sharp (as sharp as can be expected for a 16 year old game ;) ).

Good choice of game by the way. :D

this is my set up

AMD A6-3620 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 220 GHz

Ram 4.00GB

64 bit Operating System windows 7 SP.1

tank you.. at about £3 ya cant go wrong really a? i got it for the misses she loves the game lol tho i didnt realsie it was that old, not used to graphics looking like that these days lol

thanks again m8, and a big thank you to Drennan too for both ur helps :)

ttached another pic just to show u

For Dosbox I always found the best settings to be:

fullresolution=desktop
aspect=true
scaler=normal3x

You can find these asettings in the .conf file in the game's directory.

Modern LCD monitors do an abysmal job at displaying low resolutions and so if you want to play fullscreen it is important to set the resolution to the monitor's native resolution, which unfortunately GOG never does for its DOS games.

thank you very much doady i will try that my monitors resolution is set to as close as it can be tho the screen resolution on the pc dont have the size of my monitor but its close :) ive got it set to 1600x900 and my monitor is 1920x1080 the only other setting in the display config is 1600x1200 :( thanks again :)

couldnt find a .file in the game lol im new to all this sort of stuff :/

Actually, GOG has started doing that. That was the cause of another recent help thread (user didn't like the fact that the game was now pillarboxed and wanted to go back the the abysmal scaling).
It'll be called <something but I'm not sure what>.conf, so look out for the .conf bit.

thank you SirPrimalform i will look :) been busy playing the witcher enhanced edition amazing game and the graphics are awesome too :O must of just been that that other game was an old one like u sed bud :D
