Post subject: Running DOS based applications with full screen Add to elertz Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>vista>performance_maintenance (more info?)
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.
