Hello there, My problem is with Worms: United and Reinforcements. I am trying to play on a Windows Vista (clearly well beyond the capabilities for playing such an old game) and the installer won't begin, saying that it's "incompatible with fullscreen mode". I attempt to run the installer in DOSbox, but that naturally makes the game unable to read any of my C:\ folders and therefore I cannot install the game to play it. Is there any way I could fix this problem and get the game to install, and thereby play it? Thanks for your time! -Reagan

Hello Reagan,

In DOSbox you are able to map / mount a local drive from the gues DOSBox software to the windows host machine so that DOSbox can see it. I do this all the time - I have a drive on my windows machine C:\oldgames - and I issue the command

SOURCE: I can not install Boggle on a Vista system

You could try to rightclick the setup.exe, select properties, go to compatibility and run it in Win95 compatibility. You can also try to make a shortcut to the game, then doing the above. There could also be a map called DIrectX on the disk. Try opening the executable in there, install DirectX, then try the game again.
Otherwise you're out of luck. Microsoft doesn't support old games, gets you to buy new ones. I don't like it either, but there's nothing you can do about it but switch back to Win95
