Sometimes, I get a true full screen picture. Other times I get the picture compressed like a movie in shadowbox. Why does it keep changing?

Does it happen with different games running at different resolutions or does it happen randomly with the same game?

It's not just the games; it's the whole emulator. I fullscreened the shell and the visual compression was still there. Whatever this problem is, it's for the emulator and not the individual games.

set your refresh rate for 320x200 and 640x400 to something else than 60Hz or default (to 75Hz for example)

if you have a LCD monitor connect a CRT monitor before doing that

I reset my refresh rate to no effect. I restored a previous video driver and the compression problem in DOSBox went away, but some of my Direct3D games lost their images. It's mutual incompatibility, I guess, something to be expected with a pathetic old Diamond Viper V550 card.
