I have a DOS application that cannot be converted to windows and it works fine on all versions of windows presently. I can run it on Vista and it works fine except that Vista won't let it run in a full screen mode. Anyone have an idea as to how this could be done? Really would appreciate any help. -- Have A Great Day! Bill Meyer |

Gorter, Is there a way of making such programs run in true full screen mode, not just display inside a cmd window, short of using a virtual machine? Charlie42 |
