Fix what ? You forgot to upload a picture of the error .

If there's a space in the file name, replace it with an underscore. Otherwise it won't upload.

EDIT: Nevermind, beat me to it.

errrm what my friends above said :)

Yeah gog had a 3 meg file limit error without telling me, sorry

if u on a pc, check the lead to your monitor. Does it affect other programs or just games ?

Also get sure that you have the latest drivers installed (had a miliar problem once, resolved after updating the drivers).

Isn't this the infamous "Palette error" with Win7? There should be a few posts lying around, either on how to kill explorer.exe prior to running the game, or to open the video properties and run it again. Let me see if I can dig up the posts.

Edit: Post by HampsterStyle, giving one more alternative to what Damuna posted right below me.

Is the issue only with dosbox games, or does it happen for games that does not run dosbox as well (or only for games that don't run dosbox)?

Only old games, and the games it does it with is random, some work fine, and it happens a lot with videos
What's the lead to my monitor?
If I run this game in windows mode it has that, and if I run it in dos it doesn't have that but it has no music and can't save

Edit: My bad, didn't realize there was a color problem, ignore this post . . =)

It's something with the video driver. That happens to me a lot on my notebook with integrated intel graphics. Old games tend to have colors mixed up. I so this happening in Fallout, Starcraft, X-COM... and some more but I forgot which.

So in Diablo if you open the screen resolution window while the game is running, it fixes the color problem, I tried it and it fixes this game too, but some it doesn't

Thanks! That fixed half of the issues I've had with Warlords 3 (now to find a way to make it not crash after a few turns)


I had exactly the same issue as the one you reported with the game Warlords 3, and the method that Damuna posted above fixed that.
