I am unable to set up a shortcut to open a msdos program in full screen display using Win2000. I have set the properties of the shortcut from the screen default of window to full screen but it is only using approx 1/2 of the screen; the rest is black. I haven't seen any like problems either on microsofts technet or here. my default display is 1024 x 768; changed to 800 x 600, no help. any suggestions?

Start the MS-DOS program as normal. Right-click on the title bar and select "Properties". On the right-hand side of the "Options" tab, select "Full Screen". When you click "OK", you'll have the option of modifying the shortcut. Be sure that is selected and click "OK" again.

Thanx so much.....I should have known there was a redundancy built in to the properties setup, just like most other microsoft tasks.
