OK, when I run a game in VDMSound it always runs 300X600, rather than filling up the screen (at least on my laptop, as desktop goes full screen). My laptop is set 1024X for graphics in Windows. Is there something I need to do so DOS stuff runs rull screen?

you could try running the game without vdmsound to determine wether vdmsound is to blame.

but in reality dos games run on resolution like that. (blame your lcd for not correctly supporting low level resolutions)

you can do nothing about it. (well run them in a emulator that emulates the videocard as well like dosbox/virtual pc/bochs)

Check your display driver options. It's not only lcd that can be blamed. Usually you can choose whether the scaling is based on lcd or on graphic card or whether the scaling is turnned off. So if your lcd doesn't display it properly maybe the card will do it.
