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.
