Hello,

Is it possible to resize the window screen into bv 800x600?
I'm not talking about fullscreen here.
I mean the windows window.

In your dosbox.conf file there is a line with the key, "windowresolution". You can change the value behind that to change the size of the window i.e.:

windowresolution=800x600

However your currently selected output mode will need to support the scaling. Different output modes like opengl or overlay might yield better results depending upon your hardware configuration.

Oh and try the readme file included with DOSBox. It's got all of this wonderful information and then some!
