optimus III minimising game to deskop

[tom_gr7]

hey all,

the misses trying to play rollercoaster tycoon 3, it keeps minimising the game to the desktop, doesnt crash or close the game, 560m temp was about 50c, so no worries there!

anyone any ideas?

You may need to set a compatibility mode for it,you could also try selecting the 'disable desktop composition' in compatibility options.

thanks vanthus,

how do i set a compatibility mode?

 

[vanthus]

Right click the exe (application)file of the game/properties/compatibility.

thanks vanthus, trying the game again now

 

[vanthus]

The recommended OS for the game is XP so I would try that,
you may need to lower the resolution as well,sometimes with older games you need to fiddle around with the compatibility settings to get the best result.

it seems to be working now, think i set it to win 7 or something. Its working anyway
