On some XP Professional boxes ... I'm unable to get full DOS screen.

Unfortunately this makes entering Control characters in an older
database application difficult.

The message returned is:

*****************************
Unable to display video mode.
*****************************

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks
Jeff
 
The display or video card& driver cannot display the 640x480 mode called for
for a full DOS screen. Perhaps you have an LCD display?
