I have a dos program running on a windows 2003 terminal server & not able to
load it in full screen. The error I get is"the video device failed to
initialize for fullscreen mode". Is there anyway to load the app in full
screen?
 
Full screen mode for DOS applications is not supported in Terminal
Services.
The best you can get is an emulated full screen mode, by using a
special font. Details are here:

Thanks, that worked perfect.
