A bit puzzled by this one: I can run DOSBox in full screen mode in 'native' XP and on Windows 7. However in Windows 7 XP mode, although the options files are identical in all 3 instances, DOSBox shows up as a small window in the screen - there seems no way to get it to 'fill' the whole screen.

Is this expected behaviour? (maybe I've missed something in the Read Me or FAQs)

TIA

IIRC Virtual PC doesn't scale images in the guest.

Fix: Don't use DOSBox in Virtual PC.

I know that Virtual PC 2004 with Additions can run full screen in XP. However it's not a big deal - I was just curious.

Thanks
