You can't know that. I know the most here about Dos and windows sizes. There is not enough information to diagnose and wild guesses are worth nothing. Your suggestion is totally worthless if it's a bat file. Your suggestion is worthless if it's SVGA Dos program. It makes a big difference if it's typed in a command prompt. From info provided one can't even say what pif file or cmd window property it is inheiriting the settings from.

Then instead of being rude, why didn't you ask him for the specific
details that you need.

Because I expect them to do that when they first post. As they post via a web interface most of them it's MS job to get them posting right.

The exact text of any error message and what was tried that caused it to appear.

The steps taken to demostrate the "issue" for non error type things.

This is so basic.

David,

Basic as it may be to you, one must learn to craw before they walk. At least
the OP found a way to seek help and that's a start. Over time everyone will
learn just as you and I what to post and how to do it. Your answer was truly
uncalled for and you are much better than that. If you can't make out what
the poster is asking then send them here http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

Talking down to someone will not help them solve their problem nor will it
ever help them learn.

All the best,

HI All

I saw this on a google search. What a shocking bunch of crap to answe
a real question with! The guy had the same problem I just had - ANSWER
Its no good changing the MSDOS screen from start/ progs/ accessories
Certainly in Windows ME It has to be changed from the running program
so from the full dos screen use alt esc to close it to the taskbar an
then with your windowz back go to the taskbar and alt clic the msdo
and change the screen size to window, click it to open it again fro
the task bar again and WoW ALL Done. cheers

Alt + Enter to toggle to and from full screen.

You do *not* have to open cmd.exe or command.com to get to Properties in XP.

Right click whatever cmd.exe shortcut you use | Properties |
Options tab | Select Window or Full screen under Display Options

Window
[[Specifies that the program will run in a window. This mode makes it easier
to share information with other Windows-based programs and is mostly used
for text-based MS-DOS programs.]]

Full screen
[[Specifies that the program will run in a full screen. This uses the least
memory and is mostly used to run graphics.]]

Also: Layout tab | Under Window size, set the Width and Height

For command.com, right click the shortcut | Properties |
Screen tab | Window or Full screen

Hope this helps. Let us know.

That would all depend. As it is to do with a faulty program my solution is to do it correctly.
