It runs the downloaded windows version through the TTpatch but not the Dos
version does not even load from my disc.... not sure why ....

My 'normal' screen size is 1024X768 on a 17" monitor. I have tried using the
TTCConfig file, setting it to full screen and the game pointer but the
screen and the PC crashed on me. Again I am not sure why but it seems to be
my graphics card or the way that windows has been set up on this machine.
What you say about the resolution makes sense if I am trying to get the game
to run in 1024X768 mode and the maximum and best size is 640x480. Somehow I
get it to run at  800X600!!! Funnily enough, if I set my screen size to
640x480 and then run the game it also crashes.

I guess that you are probably correct here. i think that I will try to
download the OpenTTD version and when it asks for the files that it needs i
shall point it to the windows version on my HDD. I guess its a hit opr miss
affair until I can get it to work. Thanks for your help anyway!
