HI, This is not the standard 'How do I get DOS to run full screen under XP' type of question. I have two DOS applications - DataEase and Foxbase that I have managed to get running 'full screen' under XP. However, they only fill the top half of the screen i.e. the bottom of the screen is simply black. I can see all of the program in the top half of the screen but wondered if anybody knows how to make them fill the screen. I have been into properties and set full screen, Windows 95 compatability, 640 x 480 etc etc but they only ever fill the top half of the screen. I have tried this on 3 different systems but get the same problem. Any help would be really appreciated as it is now officially driving me nuts. Regards Mark

Hi, Is there a way of measuring how much info I am downloading from the internet during browsing, playing games etc. I am looking at possibly changing to a capped broadband from my existing uncapped braodband but would like to know if I would be over the 2Gb limit on the new contract. Ideally I would want to measure my useage over the next month just to see how it goes. I have a Draytek Vigor 2600 wireless router modem and wonder if this has something bulit in. We use two machines for connecting to the internet and would need the total for the two machines. Any help would be really appreciated. Regards Mark

Its me yet again. Just a follow up on progress. Having tested the above fix on my laptop evertything was great. On trying the fix on my mate's machine no luck - still got the half screen thing So in a way of proving what it was, I tried the fix on my desktop PC - no luck. I have, howeveer, noticed that my mate's PC and my desktop PC both have ATI Radeon cards in them (not the same model), but my laptop has a Nvidia GeForce card in it. So the graphics card may be causing the problem (or at least stopping the fix from working). I am going to ask my PC dealer to lend me a GeForce card for testing and I will post how I go on. All the best Mark

Me again, Just realised your name is Alec - sorry for that. Also have realised that APK may be one of the the many acronyms used by this industry and not your initials !!! Thanks again Alec.

APK, Man I owe you one. Put the MODE CON LINES=25 into a batch file and that then runs the DatEase program. Works a treat. Thank you so much for the reply. All the best. Mark
