Hello eneryone, I'm new here, I would love to play some games fullscreen, but when I press alt, enter, the screen goes black and the monitor says out of range. Also, when I put in the fullscreen commands in the DosBox, it just says illegal command etc.

Also, when I open DosBox, 2 windows open, one is the actual dosbox and I'm not sure what the other one is.

I hope someone can help

Open your dosbox.conf and change fullfixed=false to fullfixed=true
Set fullresolution=false to fullresolution=0x0

You'll probably have to do a bit more tweaking but that should at least get it to work.

The other window is a "console" that will tell you certain things about your DosBox configuration or give you an error if something doesn't work.
