SPQR-Caligula

I just read the post 3 above and that’s how I have done it to I connected a second monitor to the laptop vga out socket and have a clone display, it stops the gray bar problem on both displays.

I have found a fix for this problem, I have spoken to two Dell representatives and search the whole internet for three years to find this fix so you could imagine my disappointment when I got to this website and found it harder to log in or reregister than to get in to any of my on line bank accounts, whats with all the security C&C its not helping keeping the old games going.

The virtual box did not work, is it just the NVIDIA cards that have the incompatible chipset and does anyone know if it is all the NVIDIA cards or just some if so does anyone know which chipset or cards as I will most likely buy another computer to play TS on and I don’t want to buy another incompatible laptop.

I downloaded Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.1.8-75467.vbox-extpack but I cant install it as it says unknown extension does anyone know how I install it ?. I had an hour long screen sharing session with a Dell technician yesterday to try to fix this issue, hes going to look in to it, I am managing to play just by minimising to windows to get through the menu options.

Can you suggest a fix ?, please!.

Has anyone found a fix for this problem, is it a direct x, windows 7 or a hardware issue does anyone know, I have been playing the old C&C games for years until I got a Dell i7 quad core laptop and it will not play TS, very disappointing and I wish I hadn’t sold my old duel core laptop before I discovered this problem because I would have sent the quad core laptop back to Dell and stuck with my old laptop which played TS fine.
