I gave a few old dos games (mario...) to a friend and when he tried to run them the game splits into two halve top and bottom and they reverse so when Mario jumps, he goes off the new top of the screen and comes out the bottom before falling back down.
sort of like this:http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9199/17787825jo3.th.png (http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=17787825jo3.png)
I tried to test it in safe mode and when I got to the chose start up selection menu it was also switched. any solutions? I'm stumped.
thanks,

Sorry, an english version of what ? DOSBox ? DOSBox is in english : http://www.dosbox.com/ ...

Edit: Since Magus (rightfully) cited it, here's the link to D-Fend's web page : http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/
