Hi!
Only one little question, how do i use CMD in full screen? I have an old
financial software made in Clipper and it works in vista but i cant use it
in full screen!
When i press CTRL+ENTER it says : "This system does not support Fullscreen!
Could someone help me?

Thanks

Ricardo:
You might want to try installing the freeware DOSBOX program
(http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/download.php?main=1) and run your old software
in that window.
Download link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/d...r.exe?download
I think that combination allows you the full screen option.

Yes, Vista doesn't support "full screen" cmd windows. Does your app require
full screen or is that just how you'd like to run it? If you open a cmd
window, you can change the size of it so that it appears as if it running
full screen. Don't know if that helps or not...

How about opening a CMD session, click on the icon top right, Properties,
Layout, Full Screen

P.S. It was Options, not Layout

Not in my windows with a text mode app (edit.com - Vista's advanced text
mode editor). So I started Dosshell is Graphics mode and Windows complained
that it can't run as full mode not available. This could of course be a
NVIdia driver issue but I ain't changing video cards to test.

Unfortunately, none of the fonts MS provides for the CMD window do a
good job of filling the screen at 80x25 which is what most 16-bit text
mode programs run in. Anyone know of a way to get better font choices
for the CMD window?

Full Screen doesn't appear to be a choice in either Options or Layout on
any of the Vista systems I have access to. Have you installed something
that gives you that ability? If so, what was it?

Dave

Full Screen is a video driver function.
