Problems Running DOS in Full Screen Mode on Windows 7
Previously we learned that we couldn't run a DOS app in Windows 7 64-bit, unless we used the virtual XP. We tried it on a Win 7 32-bit and it worked fine, but would not go into full screen mode. We even tried it within DOS box, but couldn't get it to work. Is there a way to use DOS in full screen mode in Win7 32-bit? Thanks.

Thats should be no different for Vista or W7.
But remember, if you use the second one, and have to disable Aero, you loose all features like Aero Snap, Preview and the like, which can come handy.

No. sorry, by "getting to it" I meant getting to the lone PC that has Win7.
Aha. That explains a lot. And you are not able to connect remotely?

Rare I do this, but I'm awarding points based on the valuable info provided. Due to either other priorities or lack of accessibility to our lone Win7 workstation, we haven't been able to test these fully, but we have at least been able to get a DOS window to open in WinXP virtual mode. Thank you.
