Problems with old AGS games in Win XP.

[Mosk]

Hey, I downloaded some games made with older versions of AGS (V2.30, V 2.31, etc), and they don't function. when I want to run the .exe file, a message appears saying "There was a problem initializing graphics mode 320 x 200", "Problem: 'Cannot set video mode'". So Then I run the setup, but it don't function either.
Suggestions?

These games were likely DOS based.

You can download AGS 2.31 and use the ACWIN.EXE engine from that to try and run the games.

See this KB article for more information

Failing that though, you could try something like DosBox, or try and persuade the game author to update the game to a more recent version of AGS.

Thanks Pumaman, I tried to do that, but nothing happened, thanks anyway!
