Does anyone know of a way around vista not working in full screen mode? I
have some old dos games I would like to be able to play. Or how about this,
is there a way to dual boot in dos mode?

Use Alt+Enter to toggle a console window to full-screen and back to a
normal window.

Tim, have you tried this in Vista? If not, I suggest you do so, you
might be surprised...

I guess I haven't. I've got an XP box here at work where I access the
groups, my employer is not likely to upgrade.

So they screwed this function up too?

Yup, sure did - if I recall, it has something to do with the video
drivers not having the text modes or some such. Anyway, full-screen
command-prompt apps are now a thing of the past.
