I'm having problems getting some of my son's games to run on his new computer.

(Warcraft II), it is a DOS based game, but we were running it on Trena's computer with the same OS (WIN98). I've looked over Blizzard's web site, and they say it is a problem with the video card not having Vesa 2.0 compatible drivers. I can't seem to find what I need for this game to work. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Coop,

First ya need to figure out which video card that computer has. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel> System then go to the Device Manager tab. Click on the "Display Adapter" section and see what it lists for the video card.

Then you can go to the video card manufacturer's website and see if they have some more drivers for that card.
