So I legally purchased and downloaded the game from GOG.com, yet I can't play it.  


The error I get when I open the EXPRESS.exe file is the following:

Unable to change dispaly mode to 640X480 HiColor 16 bit. VESA mode switch failed.

And I tried playing with graphic mode setup options, but to no avail. Also tried running from dosbox, also with no success. Thought I'd post here first before turning to GOG customer support as I'll get a quicker reply.

Thanks in advance.

Is your monitor able to display 640x480 in 16-bit color?
Can you change your desktop to 640x480 and 16-bit color before starting the game?
