Hello,

I'm using dosbox 7.2 and fullscreen was working fine until today.
Suddenly from today the fullscreen shows dosbox at the centre of the screen surrounded by black.

I've made searches on forums about this and I tried reinstalling dosbox, adding fullfixed-true and hwscale=1.0 etc. but nothing seems to work.

I'm using a fujitsu t4215 laptop with windows xp sp2 (tablet edition),
integrated intel gma950 and 1024x768 resolution.

It is interesting that it all used to work until today. The only thing that has changed is I've installed nero 8 yesterday..

Any idea/suggestion?

thanks a lot!
Luca

Thanks for the prompt reply. I haven't updated any drivers recently and I have automatic updates off by default 😀

I've also uninstalled nero8 and isobuster (the only two softwares installed since yesterday) but it doesn't seem to help.

Any idea?
I'm really stuck 🙁

Thanks
Luca

Success!

somehow the video expansion setting hidden inside one of the many graphic setting menus was set to center instead of fullscreen...
I wonder how the h&ll it changed overnight....

anyway thank you it seems resolved!
and thank you for dosbox it's fantastic! a dream come true.
