Is this a DOS laptop? Or is this a question about dosbox? If it's about dosbox, you're in the wrong forum section.

Maybe "text mode stretch" might help.

UPDATE

I installed VEXP TSR and now the full screen feature works fine,but it doesn't scale all my screen,it stills has the black borders,how can i fix that if it's possibile?

Perhaps i fixed the sound problem,I enabled the sound option in the BIOS and installed the crystal audio config and now it plays MIDIs pretty good.
