I SOLVED THE VGA PROBLEM BY setting
the desktop area to 860*480 but
when I open a game e.g DOOM the
desktop is shrinking and I just can see
the half of the game. do you know why??
could be the following:
I think DOOM is written for DOS and not for windows and DOS programs control their screen by themselves and so Softwindows has no direct control over these programs. Maybe such games are not playable on an emulator like Softwindows. Just try them and see if they work or not. I tried different windows programs and all of them work fine but there were also some troubles with DOS programs controllinbg the hardware directly. Softwindows has no direct hardware support and can't allow that because the hardware is controlled by the MacOS and not by any other OS.
Hope, that this answer will help you, re.
