Hi there.

Has anyone else out there had an issue with getting DOS Box to run in a full screen mode? (as in matching the full screen size of the monitor) I can only get a game to run within DOS Box that will cover only about a third of my monitor. This makes most games unplayable at such a small resolution. I've tried various settings within the dosboxj.conf file, but none actually make the gaming screen any larger. I also tried changing the actual resolution on my monitor and that does nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!
It's probably caused by the video scaling option of your video card or monitor.
Might sound obvious, but have you pressed ALT+ENTER while in DOSBOX?

No idea is a bad idea...I have tried the ALT+Enter though. It makes the DOS Box full screen with a massive black border, but maintains the same size of the game screen. Thanks for the idea though!
Have you tried changing the dosbox configuration files? There should be one in the file that contains the game and it will be [something].conf
What egotomb said. Go to the control panel. If it is a nvidia or intel integrated card they should have an icon. There you can choose between the full screen of the monitor, scale with aspect ratio etc. Dont know about ati though.
