I put this game on my xp with an installer. It plays just fine, but the screen is a small square in the middle of my monitor, it does not fill the screen. Anyone know if that can be fixed? I know GOG has this game, but I don't want to buy it from them if I get the same small screen. It's not that big a deal, because it's still very playable. I was just wondering. Thanks.

Will give it a try Jenny100, thanks. Did anyone buy it from GOG, & if so, did they fix it so it fills the screen?

Judith, did you try pressing the alt key with the enter key at the same time? or is it the ctrl key and the enter key? I can't remember, but, when I have a small screen, if I do that, it will become large again. In fact, if I remember correctly, if I would minimize GK2 and then try to get it back again, it would be in small screen, so, I just would do that and it would get bigger. It is worth a shot and I hope it works for you!

I tried the alt + enter but it didn't work. It's no biggie, but I just might buy the GOG version later on. Thanks everyone.

If you used Enrico Rolfi's installer it is the Win version. There is no way to make it full screen. You can lower your PC's resolution. You can also just use the installer from here: http://sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/NewSierraInstallers.html#GKIt installs the DOS version automatically configured in DOSBox. It includes a configuration wizard that will allow you to select full screen. Like Enrico Rolfi's installer it can do a full hard drive install for CD-less play. Your CDs will not be required to play after it is installed. It is also what the GOG version is based on.

Is this the installer you used, Judith? http://gkpatches.vogons.org/If it is, that's why Alt-Enter doesn't work. There's nothing the GOG version has that the Sierra installer Collector linked to does not. The GOG version uses DOSBox.

I had to go into my D drive to see what patch I used. It was well over a year since I did it, but just getting around to playing it again because my husband had colon cancer & prostrate cancer & then I was diagnosed with a heart condition, it has been quite a year & a half. The patch I used was the Enrico Rolfi's patch, thanks Collector. A small screen doesn't take away from such a good game, but you do get used to a nice full screen with the newer games. Thanks everyone for your wonderful help

Wow, that HAS been a year... hope the next one is much better. A little GK2 always helps!
Once again, weeds are my life!
