Blank Screen with Windows XP
Hey everyone,
I recently re-installed my copy of delta force for a summer of fun, but after I choose a server, my screen goes blank. I tried running the game in a windowed version, and it just shows the "preparing for battle" screen and nothing happens. I have made all of the updates from novalogic and terranova, I have tried the compatability patch posted on this forum, I have turned off my firewall completely, and no luck. I am running windows XP with SP2, and I am using a wireless internet connection. As far as I know, the router doesnt have a firewall, but I could be wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advance |

did you change the setting so it run on Windows Xp?
make a shortcut or go to the game shortcut. 1.) right click-on it. 2.) lookup Properities.. [click-on it] 3.) look up top see "Compatibility" [click-on it] 4.) look down the page see "Compatibility Mode" put a check in the box [X] Run this program in Compatibility mode for: click-on the small arrow pointing down pick "windows 98/Windows Me". now click-on Apply and then ok. you should be set. DF: 1 was never made to run on Window XP. this is the only way to get it to work 100%

it is your firewall or router settings, if u have turned off your firewall then it will be in your router settings, it may be that u need to enable the dmz or just lower the security setting enough so that u can play the game, I know if I wanna play df1 thats what I gotta do or I will get the black screen as well
go into your router settings it should be something like 192.168.0.1 or close to it and change some settings

Can't Reinstall
I got the same problem, But, I can't even start with the INSTALL.
[ 16 bit Windows Subsystem ] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'CLOSE' to terminate the application. Thats as far as I get............
