 Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 11:01 am Post subject: video mode for Neopaint for Dos |
 |
|
I loaded Neopaint for Dos on my computer and haven't been able to switch to 256 colors. when I try to switch, it caused the computer to reboot.
When I use Neopaint for Windows, there's no problem, but I prefer to use the Dos version.
I haven't had this problem in previous computers. My present computer has Windows XP Professional. |

From the NeoPaint for DOS tech support archives:
Most newer video cards are designed primarily for use with Windows and provide little support for older DOS-based programs like NeoPaint. If your video card is VESA compatible, you may be able to access additional video modes by using the command line option below:
NEOPAINT /C7,-1,2048
Replace the 2048 with the amount of memory on your video card if different.

It's difficult to tell what the right setting would be based on your PC's specs. Did you try "NEOPAINT /C7,-1,2048"?
If that doesn't work, it may be that your video card doesn't include support for the old DOS video modes. Unfortunately, that's quite common since hardly anyone uses DOS apps anymore.
