"full-screen" DOS window doesn't fill screen

[Guest ynotssor]

I have an old DOS program that runs in a cmd.exe window which can be made to

use the full screen with Alt-Enter. This works properly on another win200

machine, but on a Toshiba laptop the full screen mode fills the width but

NOT the height of the screen.

 

I've made sure that the Properties and the Console Windows Properties of the

C:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe window are the same on both machines, using Raster

Fonts 8x12 and the same Layout, Screen Buffer 80x420 and Window Size 80x25.

 

Still, the fullscreen mode on the laptop doesn't fill the vertical of the

screen for any cmd.exe application, even just a command prompt.

 

What am I mssing here, please?

Right click on the shortcut to the program and on the layout tab, change the

window size height to 25.

As mentioned in the OP, this is already done.
