DOS isn't listed in that cards supported operating systems on the NVida website. I admit I don't know if that means it won't work. I have a NVida card also, but can't test it because I have no DOS games and I don't know where my old 3 1/2's of Turbo C++ are, or if they would still work...


Are you restarting to DOS or launching the programs from a prompt, in a window.

I did just find this on the NVidia Website Support section.

NVIDIA Geforce and Quadro GPU's are VESA complaint. Most DOS games should work with NVIDIA based GPU's. Some older DOS games were written specifically for certain older model graphics cards and therefore may have display issues with NVIDIA based graphics cards. For games which may have compatibility issues, please use the utility Display Doctor from SciTech. This software has been discontinued however SciTech still makes this software publicly available at no charge from their FTP site at:

ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/sdd/


Here is the support site you may consider nosing around there.

These 'services' you claim to be so fond of are actually the efforts of unpaid volunteers in the computing community

It'd be nice if you could acknowledge the many answers you receive to your (many) queries - instead of, y'know, re-registering under a different username and blithely forging ahead:

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.
