I have no idea why they are talking about DPI settings. That's "dots per inch" and has to do with your resolution and scaling. What are the instructions they are giving you?
I can't imagine why DPI setting would affect Ceville. You really need to ask them about your issues with the game. I'm crossing my fingers that the fact that you still use this Windows 7 computer on the internet is not causing problems.

how to change DPI settings in Windows 7: YouTube demonstrationI have the GOG version of GK3 and it runs fine on my Windows 7 computer. What is the exact nature of the problem you are having? Do you get any particular error messages when you try to run the game?

If she is using Windows 10, here are instructions for the DPI settings: YouTube demonstrationAnd if Windows 10, the same questions I asked above about GK3 apply. Will wait for more info.

Mbday will only use a Windows 7 computer, even though it is very, very risky on the internet. We already went through this issue at MM.
I still would need to know exactly what instructions GOG is giving her about DPI.

Ceville, according to the download page on GOG, supports Windows 7/8/10. On Steam it says it supports Windows XP/Vista. Drac, I see we have a birthday girl in our midst! I hope you have a very on Wednesday.

Thank you, Marian! Advancing yet another year into my 70's!
I saw those OS listings for Ceville on GOG and Steam too. I have the GOG download and it plays perfectly on my Windows 10.

Yes, I am using windows 7. I got both ceville and GK3 from GOG. Ceville keeps crashing and GK3 won't launch so I have been writing to GOG. this is their latest email. thank you for the clarification. For launching issues with GK3, please consider trying a few troubleshooting steps: 1) This workaround from the support article might be helpful: https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/ar...ght-3-The-game-requests-a-CD?product=gog2) Using an unusual DPI setting has been known to cause problems for some games. Please follow these steps to reset it to the default value and let me know if it helped: I) Right-click an empty section of your desktop and go to “Personalize”, II) Click “Display” in the bottom-left corner III) Change your DPI setting to '100% (Default) and confirm by clicking “Apply”. 3) Please try changing compatibility mode. Right-click the game's shortcut, go to Properties -> Compatibility and try different compatibility modes before attempting to launch the game again.

Well, I sincerely doubt you have an "unusual" DPI setting. Did you try the right click on the desktop method to make sure your DPI settings are at 100. Also, did you try changing compatibility mode?
And then let us know what they say about Ceville crashing.
