jod123 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I never had cm 97/98 but it may be the same as now. Just auto-hide your taskbar and then try. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Äktsjon Männ Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I doubt it can run full screen in a decent resolution. In 1997 the normal screen resolutions were 640*480 and 800*600. I suspect the only way to get it full screen is to set your desktop on one of those resolutions, however it won't look pretty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bl0u6344 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 CM 97/98 was an MS-DOS game, so I think you need something called dosbox or the like. Although I'm going from memory here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimic Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I think there might be a patch or something that fixes it. I know I've played 97/98 on XP, not sure if I needed the patch or not. Great game, got it back in the day (when it was new). If you don't patch it, buy Bakayoko! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Seeing as the CM name is now owned by Eidos, perhaps you should ask on their website/forums for help with this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcator3006 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I lost my copy of this game oh how I would love to play it again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinso Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 should work fine, even on vista.. you probably need to change your desktop resolution down to the minimum (800x600 on mine) in windows preferences, and then try and run the game. if that doesn work, you probably will need the dos-box emulator.

Nomis07 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 haha sorry about that, what i meant was why play it now? CM97/98 was my first CM/FM and it was fantastic, i'd definately play it again now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigy18181 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 get back to champ italia when lentini and brian laudrup would get about 200 assists between them a season. Ah the memories Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GillsMan Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 just bought the game today and when i click on play it says the system does not support full screencan i fix this ? cheers The best thing to do with old games is to play them on Windows 98. And the best way to do this is through a Virtual PC (free and easily downloadable, for example from Microsoft's site). Many people have a Win98 CD knocking about, or you can buy one for next to nothin on eBay. My Virtual PC has Win98 on it and I use it to play loads of games, such as old CMs (96/97 for me!), Myst II: Riven (nigh on impossible to play on XP) and more! It's easier to overcome compatability issues this way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CM name might be owned by Eidos, but as it's SI who made the code for that CM game, here probably is the right place to ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGB_SPURS_FM09 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think you can just right click the icon for cm and then go to compatibility tab and check the compatibilit mode tick box then select windows 98. You may have to also check run in 640 x 480 screen resolution under display settings! hope that helps! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
