Is anybody aware of any Vista display drivers that will allow me to
open a DOS window in full screen mode?

I know I can install the XP version of the drivers and get my
functionality back, but these tend to give me a BSOD occasionally.

I don't care about the Aero eye candy, as I have it all turned off anyway.

I don't want to run a DOS emulator... I just want to be able to view
command lines in full screen, and run a few programs that would make
life MUCH easier on my eyes if I could run in full screen.

Any suggestions?

All Programs - Acessories - right click on "Command Prompt" - click on
Properties. Use "Options", "Font" etc to personalize to taste. :-)

You know, that option never even crossed my mind! For some reason, I
always thought that increasing the font size in a CLI would just make
the font bigger without expanding the window.

Teaches me for assuming!

Thanks!

Sorry to be a pedant, but you mean a "console" window, or perhaps a "command
prompt" window. DOS isn't part of Vista... :-)

That's okay... I reverted back to my old Amiga days and called it a
CLI window before. I'm willing to call it anything, as long as *I*
know what I mean. I'll just keep others guessing!

Try different versions of the XP driver.

I've never actually used DOSbox. I'm conflicted on the issue because
I don't do THAT much with DOS windows (I use mTel for an occasional
Telnet session... that's the primary use) to where I'd want to take the
time to set up a virtual machine.

On the other hand... do I want to never be able to play Lemmings
again? Sometimes I hate progress... lol

The problem is that its a laptop with an integrated mobile nvidia
gpu... its hard enough finding any XP version of the driver, much less
multiple versions.

Maybe I should try driverguide...
