I stated this previously, and now that torrent is done. I've got the games, but after I install them, I can't run them.

"16 Bit- MS-DOS Subsystem

This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

                                                                                                          [Close]    [Ignore]"

Ignore just brings the message up again. Can someone help me with this?

If you can't run fullscreen, you can't run fullscreen.

You're screwed, unless you actually get a monitor that can display both.

Well, is there any way to force it into windowed mode?

Right click and run Windowed?
Tad more in-depth. I'm used to just typing -window in target, but that's only for shortxuts DX

RIght click the exe file and see if you can make it run windowed.
