Bigger

[Bill V.]

Hello
Does anybody who is using Dos Box for the older programs
know how I can make the window a little bigger

Here is yesterdays BC mile winner readouts
on my entropy program

I am showing it with the RDSS screen
for scale I would like the screen to be a little bigger but I can't figure out how to do it

I can work with this or go full screen but
a little bigger window would help

Hi Bill,

First, I do not have "dos box" so there is little I can tell you about that. However, I do have an old dos program, dbaseIV. When I use dbase on Windows XP I can use the program in full screen mode. When I use it in Windows Vista
I cannot. When dbase starts in VISTA I get a warning that VISTA does not support full screen mode for the program I am loading. Perhaps "dos box" has the same issue.

Hi FTL
Dos Box will let you use the program in a window
My problem is the window is to small
For my taste I was looking for help
On how to fix this

Bill,

What I was trying to say is this, if you are running on WINDOWS VISTA perhaps it is that operating system that is preventing you from making the window larger, DosBox or no DosBox.

As I indicated, my old dos version programs will run in full screen mode on WINDOWS XP but not in WINDOWS VISTA.

What I am saying is, perhaps there is nothing you can do to make the DosBox window larger. I don't know for sure, but if someone comes along with an answer, let me know.

Thanks,
FTL

P.S.-perhaps Ted has some insight

I am using windows xp
I know Richie has vista and I think
He can work with dos box
So he sees the old programs in non full screen
Mode

Maybe Ted could help Bill from Brooklyn

Morning Bill
I get the same thing as you with Dosbox/Vista:
1) the small screen
2) the full screen

I have been trying to find something in between but cant so far

Hi Ted,

How do you return it back to the way it was. I change the font size, and the
program VAl4 didn't work.

Thanks a lot,

Brian

bill and all, i tried to download dosbox and for some reason down loaded this program called "Tame" (tame60rc14 as it reads on my vista desktop) and spec 160 fills the entire screen. i can not do it w/ dosbox.

Brian,

I changed the font back to size = 14 and the DOS screen became smaller. Val4 continued to work for me. Try closing Val4 then opening it again. If there's a problem, can you describe with a bit more detail how it does not work.

Hi Ted,

I play around with the settings after I e-mail the group,
and it works fine now.

Thank-you.

Brian.
