So, it's only taken me 2 days to transfer my files and get MAXR and the reinstaller re-compiled on my new system. My mommy bought me a spiffy laptop with vista on it ( http://www.amazon.com/...B001GXR0UI ), so I have had to redownload everything and recompile everything, but I think I'm back in business. It's a 64-bit processor with vista 32 on it! Surprised I must find a way to upgrade to the 64-bit version. Maybe I'll trade in my old compy for a copy of vista 64...

while on it you may play around to get the original max running on vista somehow. Good luck with that since 16bit support was removed completly afaik Wink

It never ran under XP SP1 (or was it SP2?). Incompatible video modes. Same error under vista, except more explicit.

DOS is truly dead.

Oh - dosbox runs on vista too In love ! The DOS 16-bit video compatibility was intentionally broken in XP SP2 and beyond, so I haven't been able to use the actual MAX executable under windows for a few years.
