I recently installed Windows XP in our office and we run a DOS accounting program. The program works fine, it's just that I cannot adjust the size of the fonts that the program comes up in so it is very hard for people to read. I've tried adjusting through compatibility mode making the screen full-size, changing the font size, but the font always stays the same. Am I just stuck with this or is there somwthing I'm missing?

Thank You.

Have you tried the ALT+ENTER key combination at the DOS screen? HTH

Hey, that works great! I guess my other question would be is there any way so you don't have to hit Alt+Enter every time you open the program?

Please e-mail me at myeasky@htgraphics.com if you could.

Thanks.

Changings those settings usually only affects the characters seen directly in the DOS window.

Have you tried adjusting the font from within the DOS program? If this isn't possible, you may be stuck with what you have.
