Change your resolution in the game mate.
Open up DF2 > go to ''Options'' > and you can change your resolution from there. If you've got a small monitor, I'd prefer something below 800 x 600. If you've got something big, I'd do 800 x 600 or above (1024 x 768 being the highest). Otherwise if that doesn't work get a new monitor. But wait, post an SS first so we can be sure what it looks like. This can be done by pressing the F11 key on your keyboard. Then you should download the ''PCX Converter'' here: http://www.novahq.net/?show=utilitie...et_file&id=318 When you take screenshots in the game, they're obviously .pcx files. You can't just open these up and whoopdeedoo lol. Once you install the PCX Converter locate the screenshot you took. The default directory it should be in is: C:\Program Files\NovaLogic\Delta Force 2 and the screenshot should be SS0001.pcx (assuming it's your first SS). Using the PCX Converter, convert the picture and save it somewhere you can easily find it. Once you have the picture converted, go to a site like www.imageshack.us and follow the instructions to put the image on the Net. Once you have uploaded the picture you will be given a link to paste on this forum. Copy that link and paste it in when you reply. Hope this helps! Chris

Wow what a bunch of useless crap was just posted.
Bro, You use to have Win98 now you have XP installed. You need to update all drivers for your system. Start with your graphics card like stated. Find out who makes it (usually Nvidia or ATI) go to there website. In search type in Drivers or locate the link for drivers. Find your driver, download and install. After that take note of anything else that isn't working like sound, etc and let us know. The monitor is NOT going its simply the driver for the video card. Does the computer seem to run slow too? If so, I suggest more RAM which can be bought at a tech store such as Best Buy or Circuit City. If need help installing that we can tell you how. Also in the future, I would suggest a new computer if making the jump from a old OS to a new OS. Mind you, Windows Vista will be released on Jan. 30th 2007 |

DF2 was never made to run on Windows Xp it that old type game.
to fix-it you have to do this. get the short cut right click-on it (hold it down) till you see "Properities..." click-on that. now up top you see "Compatibility" click-on that tab look down the listing you see [ ] Run this program in compatibility mod for: put a check mark into the box and select Windows 98 / Windows Me. then click-on apply down below and ok, use that shortcut always to play the game. =========================================== don't be spamming the forum threads with quote from other thread or posting up junk posting..........not needed if you don't have any helpful reply post to put up then don't post anything at all. people/members come here asking for help and not get put out from members getting a kickout of it. people have real trouble and they looking for askers and a helping hand to get their system going right. i am temped to ban some one soon i got that itch feeling =========================================== A SS do no good reason it taken it from the system and it will not look like what he is seeing on his monitor, try to get another monitor and go inside a building or tunnel see if it all blacken not lights if so the monitor gamma is gone bad left on to long.....Screen savers keep it good shape. best way get another moniter see how it do, if you see great in all area then the you know it the older moniter you using is gone bad totally no fix for it then. there is one way a computer repair center it be cheaper then buying a new monitor in the long run

And damn I'm stupid lol, yeah, use the Compatibility Wizard. DF2 is fine on my comp but everyone's PC is different so I would try that. And Erik, I don't give a stuff about how useless or how good my answers are. If you've got nothing good to say, don't bother coming here... We aren't brainiacs at everything, therefore we try to give good answers. You have no right to lower others here... regardless of the situation. And I'll let Chiefy take over since he's the Evil Moderator lol. Chris

If you get an error when you run it in compatabilty mode, just hit ok, game still runs (assuming it is the one about shrinker.??? could not access page file).
I have DF2 and I don't run it in compatability mode... game ran fine in normal mode (well, graphics stink... trees and buildings show through the ground). IcI |
