I assume you're wanting to automatically boot a different hard-drive? If so, it's a real simple fix. I'll take you through the steps using Windows XP Professional. In the example below we will tell the system to automatically boot Windows 7 if the user does not make a choice in 30 seconds.

1. Open My Computer. 2. Open your C:\ drive. 3. At the top, select Tools -> Folder Options (Picture) 4. Select "Show Hidden Files and Folders," Uncheck "Hide Extensions for known File Types," Uncheck "Hide Protected Operating System Files." (Picture) 5. Locate "boot.ini." (Picture) 6. Right-Click boot.ini and go to "Properties." (Picture) 7. Uncheck "Read-only" and press OK. (Picture) 8. Open boot.ini 9. Find the line corresponding with the system you want to boot automatically every time your system starts. (Picture) 10. Place the system's path into the "Default" slot. (Picture)

NOTE: Only place the system's path into the default slot, not the boot options and description!

11. Save the file and exit boot.ini. 12. Once again, right-click boot.ini and go to Properties. (Picture) 13. Check "Read-only" and press OK. (Picture) 14. Restart your system to ensure the changes were made correctly and that your system starts the correct operating system.

CAUTION: Altering the lines below "[operating systems]" can change the way you system starts and might prevent your system from starting! DO NOT ALTER ANY ENTRIES BELOW "[operating systems]" UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! Altering the "Default" slot will not harm your system as long as you enter a system path that is described in the "[operating system]" sector.

I get this message every time i try to start the game! I asked on EVERY forum i know but nobody could help me yet.

Disable my second monitor. (Windows+P) (I also tried to unplug it too but it didnt work.

Every compatibility mode and other options in the compatibility tab of the Battle_Realms.exe.

Changing stuff in the .ini file.. (Yes, i made a backup) Resolution=800x600 Fullscreen=0

Restarting Windows.

I bought this game on the GOG client because i thought they fixed this problem. Nothing helped me yet. If you have any more ideas please let me know.

You're not the only one. I got the game for free today (because of the sale). No matter what I try, I get the same error.

It's worth noting this error is part of the support page for Battle Realms.

https://www.gog.com/support/battle_realms_winter_of_the_wolf/error_on_launch_could_not_find_supported_display_mode

Battle Realms does not support multi-monitor setups.

Solution listed there:

"The game will not launch if two monitors are enabled. Therefore, you need to disable your secondary monitor.
