SGVaibhav:
hehe.
burn it to a cd first,
that might help.

SGVaibhav:
my power supply fan in my current pc was spoilt.

i had to change it,
so while i was removing it

i had to remove its wire from the motherboard (the connected wire)

it was attached SO TIGHTLY

that i was holding the motherboard and pulling it,
still the motherboard BENT SO MUCH

but nothing happened to it after that also :D

SGVaibhav:
LOL
SCREWED MY WHOLE GRAPHICS BOARD TODAY  >:(
Because i wanted to play this game (http://www.v3.co.uk/vnunet/downloads/2128567/mario-war)
i love it so much

it is a DOS game, and did not work on my pc, it used to work before i got a new graphics card. (on my onboard motherboard VGA)
so then, i tried to disable my current graphics card.
then i removed that driver
then i tried to install drivers for my onboard vga.
it failed
then i was doing something with BIOS
i messed up all display options, that i could not see anything again, and access the BIOS.
then i searched for my motherboard manual
i found out 2 pins (called CLEAR_CMOS), if i shortcircuit them, the BIOS will be reset.
i shortcircuited that.
then i tried little more and did some stuff to install drivers for onboard vga
i installed, but display was going blank was xp was restarting.
then.. i tried to restore the seettings that worked in XP
but nothing happened again.
then i went into safemode.
i removed drivers for onboard vga
restarted
put back drivers for current vga.
lol, the i was cleaning my system with vaccuuum cleaner, there was lots of dust in it .....

while cleaning i realised that, the onboard graphics was not working at all, because the place the VGA cable was plugged in -- it was plugged into the graphics card outlet, (it should have been plugged into the onboard VGA outlet).

a technically expert person will understand what ever i told here :D :P

SGVaibhav:
i had 2 main questions
stylish, help me plz.

[EDIT : i got the game Working]
1)how can i play this game on my pc.
its not working because its very OLD DOS, and IT COULD BE conflicting with my widescreen monitor maybe. (http://www.v3.co.uk/vnunet/downloads/2128567/mario-war).
it used to work before
my graphic card is xfx nvidia geforce 9400 gt 1 GB.
something to do with DOS platform.
lol, i will ask 2nd question, once im done with this ...

2nd question to be asked in sometime

$tyli$h Executive:
Set compatibility settings (from properties) to "Windows 95" for the game's executable file.
