  • win 7 pro

    From Corey@VERT/TSGC to All on Sun Nov 3 13:57:58 2013
    learned by accident how to make the dos command window go full screen
    go into computer/manage/device manager.
    click on your display card, right mouse and click disable.
    your display will go black the come back on in a few seconds.
    now exit and start a command window.
    press alt/enter and it will go full screen without the no full screen in this version message. it is wierd the way they tied it to the video system.
    sneaky microsoft.

    Interesting. I didn't know you had to go through all that now to make the command prompt go full-screen.. But I haven't tried to make it go full-screen in a long time. :)

    can do something with your drivers to have fullscreen.

    it was when we were talking about dosbox going fullscreen, console apps, etc ---

    I don't remember. I certainly don't recall being part of the thread if it did come up last summer. Why does that matter to you?

    in the thread and look at it.
