Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

I have similar issues and can no longer get Links 2003 to load. I installed via CD's Patched to v1.7 All I get is a small black window screen then "not responding" Can't change display modes in registry either as it doesn't exist - very strange. I thought it was the latest AMD Adrenalin D...

Re: Another Links does not open in Windows 11 post.

It is the "after a number of retries it works" that has me head scratching. It is most uncomputer like, some intermittent faults can be understood as there are trigger conditions that occurs at some point, but loading a program should be fairly consistent. In the case of Links you are alw...

Re: Another Links does not open in Windows 11 post.

I also think Links looks better on my 1920 x 1200 screen rather than my 1920 x 1080. Alas I am limited as to what screens I can use with what systems so cannot have the optimal setup. You are certainly getting some unusual results, it is a head scratcher. Just finished playing 9 holes with 'The Chi...

Re: Another Links does not open in Windows 11 post.

I read your specs that is what started me thinking. I'm surprised with your results, I would not have expected mode 15 to work given your screen's aspect ratio, I have not had any luck mixing aspect ratios within what my systems support. I was thinking windowed mode 14 may have worked better becaus...

Re: Another Links does not open in Windows 11 post.

@mailman Does it work any better if you use mode 14 (1920 x 1080) and set Links to be Windowed? Mode 14 (1920x1080) is what I have been using since getting Links 2003 to run and run in fullscreen mode on my 2k monitor (see specs). As an experiment I tried to run it in windowed mode (registry window...

Re: Another Links does not open in Windows 11 post.

I have have looked over this forum,but can't see a fix for this problem though other people have probably had it. ...

Links 2003 and Antialiasing

I experimented again this morning with the image quality that I am seeing on Links 2003 (when it runs that is :rofl: ) on Windows 11. This morning saw the same pattern of irregular starts but at least it was starting within a few minutes (best number of restarts was 4, I think - worst time to start ...

Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

Andy, I got new computer a few months back. AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, RTX 4070 GPU, 2TB NVMe drive split into 2 partitions (1 for OS and programs and I have Links installed on the 2nd partition). Had no real problems installing Links other than the highest registry setting that I can use for the screen di...

Re: Links 2003 not working with Windows 10

Is "less than 10 restarts" the best you've gotten thus far? I ask, because that 2003 starts at all, albeit only intermittently, must mean you're getting close. Check box here, setting change there . . . got to be something. Just before retiring - took me about 15-20 I reckon so it has sta...
