   there have been many games here posted from the abandonware site. I successfully download them but when I try to install them, I receive the following error:

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

   I was wondering if anybody could help me out with this problem.

   Yes. Unfortunately you cannot run a full screen 16 bit DOS app
   in Vista's command prompt window.

   The workaround is running MS-DOS and your 16 bit program in a virtual
   machine, such as Microsoft Virtual PC or DOSBox.

   Microsoft Virtual PC 2007:

   DOSBox emulator:

   Also this might help.
