smaller screen resolution in dos 1

[B2d]

I don't know what happend!

When I start up my computer (dosmode) only a small part of the screen is used. When windows starts up, it uses the whole screen again. But when I start a program that works with dos, the screen becomes smaller again!

Please someone help me! I'm getting crazy over here!!! x-)

The system at my work has a monitor setting of 800 x 600 and in dos mode you also have a full screen! Why would my computer at home have a smaller screen in dos mode?

You mean start -> settings -> configuration -> monitor -> settings, right?

The only time I've seen this is using a laptop.

The one I have has a CMOS setting to expand the DOS screen to full screen so look around there for one. But be careful as changing some CMOS settings may adversly effect your computer.

HotEye, thanx!

It's a problem with a laptop! You're right about that. I'm going home this weekend, so then I'll be checking out the CMOS settings.

How do I get there? Hit a button on startup?
