This week I bought Theme Hospital for the PC, cheaper than chips, which I grudgingly admit I was rather excited about, my old childhood copy having being cruelly rendered useless years ago when my dad upgraded our computer processor.
Anyway, the new copy is designed to work with XP and so I loaded it up full of hope for a blast from the past. I had a few initial problems with the cursor and saving games, but managed to get things working by running it in Windows 98 / Windows ME compatability mode and installing the patch that came with the CD.
However, I haven't been able to solve the remaining problem of the game screen "not fitting" the computer screen; by this I mean the two screens seem to be out of sync, with a black band over an inch wide along the bottom of the screen and presumably the same size of band of game screen at the top of the screen that I can't see. Theme Hospital has hidden menus at the top of its screen (the ones for saving, game options, etc), which are designed to appear when you move the mouse to the top of the screen. I can make the menus appear if I scroll up as far as I can go, but can only read the bottom few options of each one.
So... any suggestions?
