i found my TIE Fighter game and Ive decided to install it on my home computer. It install properly no problems and then when i go to play it its loads for a bit then stops with the message "Stack Overflow" appearing in DOS.
How do I fix this "stack Overflow" whatever the hell that is.

i'l give it a shot, thanks, its always worked on windows before though,95 and 98.Hethrir wrote:Have you got DOS sound drivers? Try "reboot into MSDOS" and playing it from there. Old 16bit game doesn't like windows much.
Does it have anything to do with my screen dimensions? A freind o mine said if I have it set to high it might flip it out.

TIE Fighter was notorioiusly picky about your DOS settings. If you're running it straight from DOS, edit your CONFIG.SYS file and enter the following line
You may need to play around with the first number (increment it), or set it to 0,0 instead.
If you're running it from Windows, right-click the icon and change its settings there.
Code: Select all
STACKS=9,512If you're running it from Windows, right-click the icon and change its settings there.

Ontop of this, just incase the game doesn't like Windows, you can go into the shortcut properties and set it so that it doesn't detect Windows.
