DOS application doesn't run on Vista

[tedjgordon]

I have an old favorite dos program that I want to run under Vista. When
I load the path on dos, I get an error message "The system does not
support full screen mode."

Any ideas (other than get a new app program.)?.

Install Virtual PC 2007 and install DOS on a Virtual machine....

You can use DosBox, a full screen Dos emulator to run all your old Dos stuff
with no problem. Get the program and all the setup info you need here for
free:

Or you can uninstall your graphics driver, and install a graphics driver for
XP instead. That should most likely do the trick, but I think Gordon's
advice is still the better.
