Hello,
when changeing in "config" fullscreen => true, our company programm is crashing (Clipper/ DOS based).

Any idea how I can change size of the window, in which programm is now running? The window is to small, for most of my clients here. 😀 They are used to fullscreen....

Any suggestions?

thanks/Tomsan

Alt+enter switches to full screen when dosbox is running. If it still crashes, change the output type in dosbox config. If it still crashes, use windowed mode with a scaler (e.g., scaler=normal3x). If that isn't big enough, use windowresolution=1280x960 for example (output needs to be something else besides "surface").

Yes, also crashing with ALT/ENTER

raise scaler from "Scaler=normal2x" to "Scaler=normal3x" => no difference. Same size. even when changing to 5x

Output is "output=surface". Change to what?
"windowresolution=1280x960" => same size as before. No difference

Since you didn't even post the dosbox version or operating system, I suggest you upgrade.

Loooooking good! With "ddraw" I can magnify is... resolution change does work!

No full screen, but this is also OK!
Thanks for your help!
