i get a 1/2 screen

 

[TonHu]

Just set the properties of you app to a 80x25 screen (also for buffer) size.

This means that execution is normal?

Still the same. I have a full screen but the bottom is blank.

 

[EzLogic]

make a batch file call it YourApp.Bat (Or something)

Mode con: cols=80 lines=25
YourApp.exe

Create a shortcut of the YourApp.Bat on your Desktop, make it Full Screen.

That should take care of it.

Thank you TeknosSDS, that worked. My next question is, do I change my system environment in windows XP as it says in the post above?

screen:
Right Click on the shortcut to the dos window you use - or, if you've associated a program with the shortcut, that shortcut, then properties->layout, and adjust the screen buffer size - as you want it...
for autoexec.bat commands:
right click on my computer->properties->advanced->environment variables.
For config.sys settings - find and modify config.nt file - 10:1 under \windows\System32...
That should do it...
