hi
i am using my inventory programme which is DOS BASE.
previously i was using window xp with service pack2
and to run the above dos base programme in full screen window i used to press alt and enter.
but the same is not working in window vista HOME premium
please inform if anyone any solution to this.

thanksthe solution is of course to get rid of that ugly drm-riddled Vista
and reinstall winXP sp2 again, since vista isn't exactly made to
let you run dos-programs or older windows software

(if you ask microsoft you should of course go buy a new
inventory programme made especially for vista so some microsoft-
friendly software COMPANY can earn more money from you :-D )

When ms made hasta-la-Vista then backward compatibility
and usability with older software wasn't in their direct
focus (only drm was). I believe you can't have fullscreen
with vistas graphic drivers because then you could possibly
circumvent vistas drm-system that tries to prevent you from
copying films or something :-/

it you insist on running fista anyway, I guess your only
hope is to run your application in the dosbox-emulator.

(note that it is possible to have more than one operating system
installed on your computer so you can select if you want to
run shvista-vista or xp (or freedos or linux or something else)
when the computer starts, if you want)
