    DOS app and XP?!? [Resolved]

    Good day,

    I'm trying to run a vintage DOS app (Navision 3) under Win XP. I can't get a full screen, only a rather compressed window of approx. 1/3 of the monitor Any ideas as to get the box sort of full screen?

    TIA

    Pressing Alt-Enter should work, it always used to in earlier versions of Windows.

    well, it may be time to go home and do something else...

    <ALT><Enter> we did, but the screen was anything but fullscreen...until I set mode con cols=80 lines=25 - et voila!

    Thanks, si_the_geek!
