I am a novice. I have installed xp on one of a two computer network. Other remains 98se as it runs two necessary dos programs. Dos programs can be seen on the xp machine but not in a full window. One program has a screen saver, and after the six minute wait the screen goes into effect and full screen appears. A pain to wait, but it works. The other proram is written in Foxpro (tells you how old the program is) and works like a charm BUT only seen as a small window in Xp. Tried alt/enter without luck. Tried to change the video card without luck. What can i do to get the dos programs (which work) to view as a full screen? Mine eyes have bugged.
