I am running DOSBox version 0.72, in Windows version 5.1 service pack 2, in Windows XP Professional version 2002 service pack 2. I have a Pentium(R) 4 CPU processor at 3.4 GHz with 992 MB of RAM.
I am trying to run an old (1993) full-screen DOS application called CARPET in DOSBox. The application graphics include lots of input menus and output graphs of RADAR performance. I used to be able to do Print Screens in Windows NT and paste into PowerPoint for my presentations. I turned to DOSBox when I found out that Windows XP does not support Print Screen (or Alt-Print Screen) when in a full-screen DOS environment.
I have read the README file for DOSBox.
My problem: DOSBox allows me to do Print Screen and paste into PowerPoint just as I had hoped. However, the output graphs do not show all of the data that should be displayed. E.g., when I run without DOSBox, I get results out to 60 km in range, but when I run with DOSBox and the identical inputs, the results only go out to 10 km. Somehow, DOSBox is interfering with the longer range calculations in the DOS application and/or the longer range portion of the graphs.
I have tried cycles=max and full screen in the config file to no avail (after unloading the application and DOSBox in between config file changes).
Any ideas?
