So that's the useful developer console commands. Alright, thanks for your reply.

Also how do I enable the developer console in game files?

CTRL+ALT+~ in game. The console is always there. Enabling dev console means you can open and close it with just ~ (tilde)

It also says this in the first line of the article that freyk linked to you.

This is a list of common console commands and cvars that are of use to Dark Mod mappers and developers for testing etc. It is in order of key words and meaning. The console can be called by hitting "CTRL+ALT+~" ("CTRL+ALT+Key left of number 1" in general, e.g. "CTRL+ALT+^" on a German keyboard).

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately, the taskbar's from Windows Vista and it's always on top.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

That's a windows Vista (ew) issue I suppose. The default for Darkmod is Borderless fullscreen which was a new thing in Vista and probably isn't supported that great by microsoft.

 

Try changing game settings Settings->Video->General->Fullscreen

And get the F off Vista, even Windows 7 has much better support for more advanced video technologies.

You should be able to get a free version of Windows 10 with that product key.

Baby steps. Be grateful this appears to be a regular installation and not a virtual machine.

Not sure it makes it any better that the no-longer-patched Windows is not running in a virtual machine...

Not with Vista keys, only Windows 7 or 8/8.1.
