I'm running DOSBox on a Windows7 laptop. The DOSBox window takes up about 1/3 of the screen. Is there anyway I can increase the DOSBox window to fill the W7 screen? I'm not interested in increasing screen resolution - just the physical size of the DOSBox window (with the fonts looking larger as a result.)

I've tried the various combinations shown in the .conf file but the DOSBox windows stays stubbornly at its 1/3 size.

Thanks
Paul

did you read the comments at the top of the options file ? (with regards to the output option ?)
Maybe changing that will help you out

This is how I got a larger window:

fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=1920x1200
windowresolution=1024x768
output=ddraw
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
usescancodes=true

Is mapper-0.74.map your own mapper file? I don't appear to have a mapper.txt file (which appears to be the default.) Anyway, apart from the mapperfile entry, there is no change to the window size.

I've realised I have made an error - assuming that anything after # was a comment I had stuff like

windowresolution=1024x768 #600x400

so DOSBox was not accepting the window resolution parameter as a valid entry. It's fixed now - thanks to all who offered solutions.
