Guest ynotssor Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 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?
Guest 3c273 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Re: "full-screen" DOS window doesn't fill screen Right click on the shortcut to the program and on the layout tab, change the window size height to 25.
