Hello,

I use:

Windows 7 x64
DosBox 0.73
Resolution: 1920*1080

My problem is plain simple and driving me nuts.
I want to use DosBox Fullscreen.
Alt + Enter does not work! Windows will make it stay windowed, allthough it tries to go to fullscreen (you can see it switch a very short time, without really going fullscreen).

conf-file fullscreen=true had the same result.
So where is my problem?

Edit:

I found the problem!
After setting my resolution to a lower one... it worked.
Can anyone tell me WHY?!

Regards
Mork

Yeah that fixes the problem with games running slow, but my DosBox cannot be set to fullscreen with my 1920*1080 screen resolution.

Try setting your windowresolution= to the same size as your desktop.
