[Elvandil]

Operating System. What are you running and what one does the game need?

[Gama]

I am trying run the setup of the game "commandos" . As i said when I click on the setup, a message box appears wich says" O.S not supported". I don't know what to do. So , I don't know what does the game need.

What OS are you trying to install the game on is what i think he meant.

[Gama]

I have got windows xp, when I go to the web site of the game these are the minimum specification for the game. Pentium 166Mhz Pentium Processor

Windows 95/98

32MB RAM

1MB SVGA Card (100% DirectX 6.1 compliant)

4X CD-ROM Drive

100% DirectX 6.1 compliant Sound Card

DirectX 6.1 or higher (included)

225MB uncompressed hard disc space

Keyboard and Mouse

Right-click the setup file and choose the Compatibility tab. Choose Windows 98 and Apply. Try to install.

If it installs, then do the same thing to the shortcut to the game so that it runs under Win 98.

I have tried changing the setting in the compatability mode already but it doesn't work

[Elvandil]

Then it looks like you need Windows 98 or ME. If you have a copy, you can run it inside XP in a virtual machine.

www.virtualbox.org
Or get the free Virtual PC from Microsoft.

Meant he need to downgrate his OS huh?. I dont think its a good idea but can we run in inside XP as per what you said ? I never try but will do it soon because my problem quite similar with this guy.

[Gama]

I really appreciate all the information you have provided. I don't have a copy of win98. Is their any other way.

[Elvandil]

No. The game says that you need 98, so that is what you will need to do if you want to run it. Or try exchanging it for the correct version if there is one.

[Couriant]

is it a DOS game? Some Windows 98 games were in DOS so you may need DOSBOX to play it.

There are a few games/versions of Commandos.
Exactly which game are you playing...what is the full title of the game?
