I can load Shivers 1 on XP but don't get full screen. Any way of getting it full screen? I'm sure I played it once on XP.

If you're running the game under native XP I don't believe so - the game will display in its pre-rendered resolution (640x480 I think).

DOSBox will run the game full-screen, but the graphics will be pixelated.

What Inland says is correct - it doesn't run in full screen on XP.

Okay, thanks. Guess I'll play it on my Win 98.

Not unless you change your desktop resolution to 640x480, which isn't always possible.

I think you can get 640x480 if you use compatibility mode.

Not as many monitors offer 640x480 these days.

[I recently bought a new one myself and had to scout round to find one that did !!]

In which case compatibility mode wouldn't be possible whistle
