Hello all,

I'm a new user, and maybe this has been answered before in the forums, but i couldnt find one after a quick search. I know that some forum users prefer to tell newbies to "go search!" before they answer... i tried, so hopefully someone will be kind enough to let me know if this is possible...

My dad uses an old program to view stock charts, its in 16 bit dos mode, he just bought a laptop with vista... i did research and found dosbox, got the program to run fine in it, however i cannot make it a true full screen.

When i go into the config and change fullscreen to true, and match the resolution to the monitors resolution, dosbox just starts in full screen mode but the actual resolution of the command prompt (or the program when i open it) is still the same as if the window wasnt in full screen... its just a smaller square in the middle with black around it (hopefully that makes sense)

Is there any way to actually streatch the actual resolution of the data?

Thanks in advance

Maybe the video card's software is not scaling the image.

I would try the first guys reply but if that doesn't work, select either your monitor or your graphic card to scale the image full-screen.
