Did you try verifying local files?
Did you check for updated graphics drivers, etc? Someone with an ATI card fixed this problem by updating to the latest Catalyst Control Center (
Still "Dragon Commander has stopped working").
Did you go through the
[FAQ] Troubleshooting Dragon Commander & support topic (or the stickied
Steam discussion)?
Did you try starting the game in a window? You should be able to change the display mode in the options (there is also a replacement configuration file link in the troubleshooting topics above, or a manual procedure below).
You can manually set the resolution by editing the graphicsettings.lsx file in Wordpad, or other text editor, located in the folder:
C:\Users\ %username% \My Documents\Larian Studios\Dragon Commander
Look for the section
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="
ScreenHeight" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="
768" type="4" />
</node>
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="
ScreenWidth" type="22" />
<attribute id="Type" value="0" type="5" />
<attribute id="Value" value="

</node>
Search for 'fake' near the start of the file to set the display mode (if both FakeFullscreen and Fullscreen are set to zero, it will be in Window mode).
<node id="ConfigEntry">
<attribute id="MapKey" value="
