DOS full screen mode problem

W

Hi folks,

When I try to run a MSDOS application and a press ALT+ENTER to swith to the
full screen mode the application stop running, not even the EDIT application
works anymore. It seems the keyboard freezes and all I can do is to press
the ALT+ENTER and switch back to windows mode and terminate the application.
Besides I am receiving the following message: "The video device failed to
initialize for full screen mode".

Any help to solve this problem would be appreciate.

See my post elsewhere in this thread. Run the DOS program in a window.
Click to expand...
Right-click on the top blue bar to get to Properties and specify full screen
there.
Or hit alt enter
