Yup that's the DOS version. > It will still work in Windows 95/98/ME, but if you want to use it > under Windows XP then you will need the Windows version. > I have Win Me. I tried to install it again and it does not work from this disc. At one point, I get a enlarged version of the dos screen and then my system jams. I gave up in the end. However, I have got a windows version of the game up using a win download and the ttpatch and am having fun. My only problem is that I have to change my screen resolution from 1024X768 to 800X600 to get a comfortable viewing screen. It is still not perfect as I cant maximise the screen to fill the monitor screen if that makes sense. And if it does, is this a common problem? The reason that I asked my initial question was that I am interested in the OpenTTD game and it needs the windows disc. Alas, thanks to you people I have been told that I don't have it. I think that its ebay time!!!! CTM --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
