Use hwscale=1.5

I changed the hwscaling to 1.5, and the window remains the same size. Does that meam my hardware (HP Pavilion 1.8 GH doesn't support hardware scaling?)

The main reason I am trying to run in a larger window is that the window that the game 'Lemmings' runs in is so small that I have problems reading the text in that game. Otherwise the games runs great..(in a small 'window' that is)

Be sure to set the output option to ddraw in the DOSBox.conf file.

Well, setting the option to ddraw allowed the program to run in a larger window...but man! it seemed to slow the game down tremendously.... almost to a crawl....

Change the resoluition in your dosbox.conf, and also try using "scale2x". 😁

Make sure you're not putting any part of the DOSBox window on a secondary monitor (especially if you have an ATI video card) - that often kills my speed in DOSBox and a lot of other games for some reason.

avatar: I think the resolution setting only affects full screen. hwscale= and scaler= settings are the only way to make a window bigger that I know of. scaler= will be slower than hwscale= in most cases.

Hey All!

It worked! I reinstalled dosbox, and made only two changes to the *.conf file: hwscale 1.50, output ddraw
Also, I was not using the frontend D-Fend (which I think may have been part of the reason it did not work before).
For now, I'm not using a front end anymore, I'm just going to stay with the 'ol Dos prompt Z:> and use the Dos commands....( after all it works now)

Thanks for all your help!

Cool. Using command-line may be annoying but it's more rewarding afterwards, specially for ms-dos purists.... 😁
