Ok, here's what I've got. No short cut tab. Or do you mean the text field?

I'm puzzled... I was expecting you to be looking at a window similar to this...



I'm going to open the thread to grab the attention of someone more familiar with vista, sorry jay, but I never had Vista myself so I can't really tell why is it that your menu is different from this one...

No problem, I've never had this problem before.

Just a quick update, I tried this on an XP PC and it ran with no problem, so I'm going to install it again and setting it to run as Windows XP.

It could be your graphics drivers are too new. Sometimes installing an older version fixes problems like this.

Also if you go to their official site in the link below you'll see it doesn't run on vista. You can download dosbox and play it on that. You may need to download the dosbox version of the game though.

Download Jagged Alliance | abandonia
DOSBox, a x86 emulator with DOS

Ok, I've downloaded DOSBox, so how do I launch DG now with it? (Note I've not used DOS for years).
