I just don't like the fact that I lose track of time "playing with my food" in Single Player RM. I can't see the windows clock or receive IMs when playing.
I've found DWnd, a program for DirectX programs, but it doesn't work very well with AoE.
Yeah, we've had some threads about this before. The only way is by doing illegal things, so watch where this thread goes.

If you lose track of time playing AoE you can press F11 in game, this brings up the time of the game, so if you remember when you started the game you should be fine.

This is also a problem on large screens - the way that the game is stretched across the screen makes it unplayable.
I can create a method whereby the directdraw messages are re-directed - and redrawn into a "windowed mode" but I am trying to get it to fit AoEH's site rules. I plan to get this out for the RasPatch and AoH mods.

I did some exploring on this issue because I have a nice 22" wide-screen and stretched AoE looks really bad. Once I found a solution for wide-screen issues I made a thread which can be seen here.
note: for this wide-screen solution to work I believe that you would need a relatively new ATI video card although I would also expect Nvidea cards to also have similar options.

I too have the problem where the game takes up the entire screen and I've set the graphics options to 'Maintain aspect ratio' on my nVidia card but there is no difference.

You're going to be banned by the time I come back, Veg. The Code of Conduct is serious business here.

I think it'll just be a warning, mods are pretty cool these days.

Is it illegal to use a virtual machine running '98 to play this in?

For the record evading a ban is a banable offense. Like reverse engineering a non open source game. And Axoren AFAIK that shouldn't be a problem.
see you in eso! eso names KingCarlosV, Angelface38, IamCarlos

A couple of other threads deal with the same subject so I changed their names and closed them. I wanted to merge them but apparently that can't be done here

You don't. They're closed.
Anyway, how come I saw this guy in one of the other threads with the custom title "AoEH Seraph" with a black name? He isn't/can't be seraph, so who gave him that title?
