Does InstantTrack run under Windows Vista?
With some caveats, yes. Windows Vista does not support running MS-DOS programs in all possible graphics modes, and InstantTrack uses a graphics mode that isn’t supported. So, if you run InstantTrack directly under Vista, the text screens will work fine but Vista will refuse to let you enter the map screen. If you try, it will pop up a message that “This system does not support fullscreen mode. Choose ‘Close’ to terminate the application.” and your only choice will be to close InstantTrack. There is a viable workaround for this problem: you can run InstantTrack under an add-on DOS environment that is aware of Vista’s limitations. One such environment is a program called DOSBox, a freeware DOS emulator that’s designed specifically for running old DOS programs (mainly games) on modern computers. Simply download and install DOSBox and run it. You’ll get a DOS window. Give the command mount c c:\it to give DOSBox access to your InstantTrack directory, and then change to that default directo
