Re: XyWrite in full screen mode on Win7 32 bit

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

I'd say the problem to solve is the 1/6 screen size. Could that be
down to fonts? Would changing the fonts in the properties (upper left
hand icon) make the screen bigger? I use Lucida Console at 24 pt and
that makes for a very nice 43-line Xy4 window on Win7-32. I haven't
quite got Xy4 on Win7-64 working to my satisfaction, and the
WinXPmode environment seems ever so slightly sluggish.

Avram, ask the manufacturer of your video adapter whether it can use
a Windows XP video driver in Windows 7. If so, install the driver,
and you'll have full-screen DOS. There is information here:

I've never tried this. There are probably trade-offs involved. Some
Win7 video effects will be sacrificed, and I've read that XP video
drivers can cause crashes in Win7. Nevertheless, it may work for
you.
