I'm trying to use DOS 6.22 on a Toshiba Satellite S1800-100. The problem is that it uses only a part (the centre) of the screen.
Is there a solution for this 'problem'? (A specific DOS driver?)

The laptop came with Windows 2000.
Display adapter: VGA (color) in mode 03h
VESA version: 2.0 OEM Trident Cyber 8620; Cyberblade A i1 AGP

Did you check in the BIOS setup? Usually there is a setting in there for "screen expansion" or something like that...

It probably isn't relevant for this laptop since it has a different graphics chip, but if you can't solve it with a BIOS option there may be a program you can run to fix this, like the one mentioned in this thread for the 720cdt:

Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
