VB6 Aurora:Download & Install

Download / Install

Aurora is released by Steve Walmsley, the developer. You can find and download the latest version at the Aurora Installation Forum. Its recommended to read the instructions carefully and follow them exactly. If something goes wrong, the best place to ask is at the forums. The game will not work with any other number format.

Notes:

• Installer: When using the setup.exe. If asked about overwriting any existing files with older files, make sure you KEEP the existing files. This will happen about 10 times during the install.
• Third-Party Utility: All-In-One installer and Portable Aurora is an utility that make it easier to install and run the game. You can download it from the Portable Aurora sub-forum.

System Requirements

Number format: If you are living in a country which uses the comma (,) for decimal separator, then while playing Aurora you have to switch the Regional Settings of your computer over to US or UK or another country that uses the period (.) as the decimal separator. In XP this is in the Control Panel.

Minimum resolution: The minimum resolution required is 1280x1024. A higher resolution or multiple monitors will allow you to see more windows at once. If your display doesn't support this, there are ways around it, provided your video card supports a higher resolution than your monitor/display. You can also play with slightly reduced-size windows (see main game menu).

• Scrolling desktop. A program that extends the desktop beyond your screen can be found at http://360desktop.com/
• In XP, something similar is already built in but it does carry a warning from Microsoft so you will have to decide if this is worth trying. Go to the screen where you set your resolution. Select the Advanced button and then select the Monitor tab. There is a checkbox which reads "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display". If you uncheck this box, you can set resolution to anything your graphics card can handle. If this resolution is higher than what your monitor can display, whenever your mouse pointer reaches the edge of your screen, the whole screen will scroll in that direction.
