A program that I developped in former time
using turbo pascal 5.0 at DOS, can be run
at windows vista. It was running at
windows XP. But now I have the following error
message: This system does not support fullscreen mode.
Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

It is a simple and useful program and I want to run it
at it is and not expend time to change it to fit at Windows vista.

All the best

Hélio.

I believe it's a Vista video driver issue, not a Vista issue per se. I
bet this is a laptop - mine does the same thing.

There is no solution except to make your program able to run in a
window. A workaround would be to use a DOS emulator, such as DOSBox.
That will usually let you run a full-screen app in a window.
 
Hi Nil;

I have this same problem with an MS-DOS program that I use for brain injury
rehab. It won't work on my windows vista desktop or laptop, and I get the
same error.
