Can't type in full-screen DOS box

[Glen Comstock]

Hey, I can type in a DOS box if the screen is in a Normal
size,(a windowed box) But as soon as I Maximize the box to
Full-Screen I can't type any more. Why does this happen,
and are there any fixes for this?

Background info:
We replaced a motherboard in one of our workstations, in
which we HAD been able to use WordPerfect 5.1 in a
Maximized DOS box UNTIL we put the new board in. Now when
we try, it stops responding. If we switch back to a Normal
sized window it WILL NOT let us type either. We must Ctrl,
Alt Del & choose End Program and run the program STRICTLY
in a windowed box. It stinks that way!!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
