Title: Trouble running Rob Blanc
Post by: Winter_Stardust on Wed 26/03/2008 22:15:16
I've tried to run all three Rob Blanc games and they won't run ever since I installed Win. 2000. They worked fine before, and I've had to change a few game settings to get other games to work in 2000, but nothing in RB works. I get a black screen and then instantly get kicked out to windows.

What do I do? Any ideas? ???

I don't have a lot of experience with win2000, but what about right-click | properties | set compability mode to something different?

As I recall, Rob Blanc was a Dos game. Have you tried DosBox?

It's true, you will have a hard time getting old games made in the DOS engine to run on Win2k. I had that problem too, but was too impatient to download anything like Dosbox, but I'd imagine Dosbox is your best bet.
