Video Display problem in Xp using Dos program

[Neophyte]

I have a Dos accounting program that will not display on XP. It seems to be
squished to the top half of the screen. I have set the shortcut properties
to Full Screen, Win 95 comp. I had it displaying properly for 1 day and then
someone messed with the shortcut. I have deleted the shortcut and re-created
a new one but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. I have tried the XP compatibility wizard and
no luck.
Thanks,
Lee

In the properties you see by right-clicking the top bar, under Options,
select "Full Screen". You'll be prompted to "Save Options for future
windows with same title".

It doesn't work. I have tried it with serveral combinations in the
compatibility tab. The program is running Full Screen but is squished to the
top half of the screen. Tried the Abandon Loader but no luck there either.

640x480 set for the resolution in the Compatibility tab?

No luck there either. The program is called Cougar Mountain and they have
stopped supporting the DOS version. The version that we have is suppose to
run under Win95 but I can't get it to do so in XP. It will run fine in 98SE
and below. Just holding out to upgrading and learning new software for 7
people.

Ok, are you running it from a Shortcut? If not, try that, and then go to
properties in the Shortcut and set the font size larger.
