Hello,

on Bazfile's advice, I installed VirtualBox to play my old games with Windows XP again.
But I can't seem to play in full screen mode like before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 68.0

    Have you installed the guest additions on your virtual machine? If not, go to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads, look for "Oracle VM VirtualBox 6.0.10 Extension Pack," and click on "All supported platforms." Then install it to run a game in full screen on your virtual machine; you can press F11, I think it works on XP.

      I think I've already done this, but how can I verify?

      You can reinstall.

      After reinstallation, the problem is still not resolved.

      Is there anyone who can help me? I am still stuck in "windowed" mode and the game's display is choppy. Also, moving with the mouse is very difficult, especially to maneuver on the map towards the outskirts :(

      Actually, I'm not sure I understood everything. A screenshot of the entire screen would be more explicit with the built-in tool in Windows: Snipping Tool.

    Thank you very much for your tutorial!
    However, I can't get my CD-ROM to start!

      Are you saying that you can no longer put your CD in your virtual machine? If that's the case, mark this topic as resolved and create another one; just give me the link to the new one here. But to give you a hint, I think the guest additions setup remains on the CD-ROM, so I don't know about XP, but check the CD-ROM.
      P.S: Screenshot
