dos in full screen on xp freezing

[macman]

Someone has had to have run into this prob before.

I have a program that is DOS only.
In a mixed 95/98/2000/xp mode it works fine in full
screen.
I have two identical and have installed the program on one
and mapped drives so you can use it from the other.
The problem is that when I go to use it in full screen
mode it freezes. no matter how I get to full screen it
freezes. I have a batch file that , well here it is
'@echo off
mode con: cols=80 lines=25
g:\<foldername>\%1"
even with this line in the cmd line of the shortcut it
still freezes in full screen mode...can anyone help me...?

Just for those wondering what the problem was...it is in

the bios. The graphics aperture size was set too high. on
PIV's with onboard video the aperture size is set from the
factory at 128meg....most "dos" programs will not run this
high...by resetting it to 32 meg it allows the programs to
run natively. macman
