Problem with screen / resolution

[hhasti]

I'm running a foxpro 2.6 application under win xp, in fullscreen mode. In this prog there is an external program call (another exe file).

Once this call is fired, the resolution of the foxpro application is changed, and the letters are smaller.

How can I fix this? Running under win 98 this will not occur, but I have to run the foxpro app under win xp.

Any ideas? (I'm not very familiar with foxpro).
Please let me know.

Im guessing this is foxpro for dos...(??) Is the external program running in fullscreen? (right-click, properties > screen tab)

Hi,

puuuhh, I've found a workaround, "scrolling" down the
documentation in FOX.

SET DISPLAY TO CGA

will change the display to the correct settings, after
calling the executable.

meh, "set disp to cga" causes error message if graphics hardware doesnt allow the display...

if you do get the message, maybe you could have your exe set to run in compatability mode

If the exe is calling from a DOS BATCH file, you could achive it by giving the following line of code just before the EXE call.

mode con cols=80 lines=24

I think
SET DISPLAY TO VGA25
will be the best.
