Re: fullscreen batch 12 Post by Aacini » Sat Dec 14, am This topic is interesting to me, because I wrote many old DOS programs that I would want run, or test at least, in full screen mode in my Windows 8 computer. However, the answer is useful for anyone that use the Command Prompt window.

I spent several hours searching the web looking for a definite answer to this question, and I think I found it in part, at least. Because DOSBox is focused on games, it has limited networking and printing support. In theory, however, it should be able to run any DOS program.

Download and install DOSBox. You can download the DOSBox installer for free from dosbox. Run the installer after downloading, and follow the prompts to install DOSBox.

During installation, choose a location at the root of your hard drive. Create a folder for your programs. Place this folder in the same location that your DOSBox folder is located. Add your old programs to this folder. Each program should be contained within a separate folder in your programs folder. Launch DOSBox. You'll be taken to the DOSBox command line, and will need to configure a few things before you can start using it.

Mount the programs folder. Open the folder for the program you want to run. Type cd folderName to open the program's folder. Replace folderName with the name of the folder for the program you want to run. Start the program. Type dir to see a list of files in the directory. Find the EXE file and type it into the command line. This will start the DOS program. Switch to full-screen. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.
