DeMignon: - Run "Launch Graphic Mode Setup" as administrator (right-click => Run as...); It's in the "
\Dungeon Keeper Gold" folder
- In "Basic Settings" change "Graphic mode" to DDraw, check "Full Screen"
- In "Advanced Settings" check "Keep Aspect Ratio" if you don't want a stretched picture on a widescreen monitor
- Save Settings
If it's still a little box in the middle of the screen:
- Open
\Dungeon Keeper Gold\dosboxDK.conf with an editor (e.g. WordPad)
- In the section
[sdl] set "fullresolution" to your desktop resolution (e.g. fullresolution=1680x1050)
For the Deeper Dungeons add-on:
- Edit
\Dungeon Keeper Gold\dosboxDK_addon.conf instead
- If fullresolution= is missing, add it under
[sdl] and set your desktop resolution
You might have to login as Administrator or run the Windows Explorer as Administrator to be allowed to edit these files (or run WordPad as Administrator and open the files from there). If so, also run the game with Administrator rights.
Trying to follow your instructions and hit a stumbling block in that i cannot find 'Basic settings' in the Dungeon keeper game folder.
And how would i launch graphic mode setup? sorry if this sounds like complete idiocy. I have zero experience with PC gaming and no idea what im doing when it comes to changing programs

I have located The graphics menu was under 'DOSBox Configuration' The game still boots up on a small window surrounded by black.
