16 Bit Dos Software - Windowed mode

[Guest]

HI
I use a modelling software name "Camp-G" Its a 16-bit dos based software.
I'm using windows XP professional. I'm facing two problems with the software

1. I cant operate the software in windowed mode. When I open the software it
goes to full screen mode. When I press Alt-Tab, it get minimized. I try to
set it to Window mode in "command pormpt" properties. Still its the same
2. Need to be able to paste screen in Word. To copy the screen content as a
picture, "Alt-Print Scrn" will work. But this 16bit dos based software CampG
does not allow to take screen shots. Cannot copy the contents of the screen.

Can anyone help me with this

Try using "Alt-Enter".

When I hit Alt-Enter, it gets minimized. When I click on the minimized tab ,
it goes to full-screen mode. It works fine with Windows NT systems. Is there
any DOS BATCH command to set the windows screen.

Minimized? Perhaps Window is off screen. After "Alt-enter" r-click Item
in Tray and select "Move" then place on visible area of desktop.

Hi
I got your point. But the problem is not offscreen. But it is minimized.
So right-click on the tab, it shows stuffs like maximize, restore etc..
So its the problem with the software. But it works fine with windows NT
So what could be the problem?

There is mode command. But if your program uses VESA BIOS calls then it can only run full screen. See if you can configure the program to use standard video modes.
