I have successfully managed to get Paradox 4.0 up and running on my vista machine but cannot get full screen working.
When I (Alt Enter) the whole screen just goes black.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Output=surface
I am a bit of a novice, Can I just edit this in notepad++ ?

Hopefully - might need to be logged in as Administrator though. I have heard a rumour of a fix for the next version of DOSBox that will make it possible for Vista-users to edit it without Admin privileges 😀

The output=surface is what is there at the moment but what should I try so I can view it in full screen without the screen going blank?

Didn't work. I think I am going to have to return to XP and go through Command Prompt. Shame but it works.
