Default DOS in full screen?

I cannot get my program to run in full screen. I have changed all properties and still cannot get it to run right. I do not think my display settings will allow. What can I do any help would be appreciated? :seeya

:confused:

Are you running DOS programs through a commandline from another OS? Or are you booting staright to DOS and it won't load the entire screen?

Have you considered making a short-cut and then change the properties to full screen?

When you turn on the 'puter, hit and hold down control or F8 to get to your startup mode where it asks you to boot up normal, safe mode, command prompt, etc. Just run it straight from the DOS without ever going into windows in the first place. This does double duty in preventing any drivers being loaded for the port that Diacom uses. -Matt-

I will give that a try once I straighten out my computer. I was trying to load some driver and cannot get to work right. I am not using Diacom. I am using Haltech DFI system and it runs fine on my other laptop. Thanks :seeya
