My DOS windows are always full-screen, how to fix?

by shmooth1 . Updated 15 years, 11 months ago

So, at least for the very first time i run every command from the Start->Run menu in Windows Vista, I get a full screen of black, until my command finally materializes – let’s use ‘cmd’ as an example.

So, if I say run ‘cmd’, my it’ll take over the entire screen until I ALT-ENTER it. Then, to prevent it from happening in the future, I have to go into Properties->Options->Display Options and switch the setting from ‘Full screen’ to ‘Window’. How do I make ‘Window’ the default, because it continues to pop up in unexpected places – say, when I’m running an executable from within other applications – like running a PERL script from within Textpad.

Thanks.
