Moorhuhn!!!!!

rik242 · 14 Feb 2010

Evening all. Now, this is one of those massively unimportant things, daft little game that passes a few minutes, gets played about twice a year, worked fine in XP, but doesn't display correctly in 7. I could quite happily live without it, but the fact that i can't get it working is like a challenge now! I have 7 Professional, and although the game displays properly in XP mode, the controls don't seem to work. Any ideas, pointers, or life advice about giving up trying greatly received!

Try installing it in Xp compatibility mode...

Hi Tews, yeah, forgot to say i've tried that already. It seems the game itself plays fine, just the colours are wildy out, like a bad 60's acid trip.

Is this just a problem with how many colours you can use ?

I tried Windows Virtual PC and i was disappointed with it, one of the reasons is that it's native resolution will only go to 16bit which doesn't work with many basic games

You can however use "Disabled IC" mode to make it work in 32 bit colour so If you want 32bit, you need to run it w/o integration mode.

personally I find Sun Virtual box is far more flexible and doesn't have this limitation :)

Oo and yes Moorhuhn looks good in SunVbox
