HuFlungDung, via the properties menu, the advanced program settings were adjusted to specify a new dos configuration as outlined in the manual for the cnc software, they now read as follows:
CONFIG.SYS for MS DOS mode:
DOS=HIGH,UMB
Device=C:\WINDOWS\Himem.Sys
Files=50
Device=c:\windows\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=043,850,c:windows\COMMAND\country.sys
AUTOEXEC.BAT for MS DOS mode:
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET PROMPT=$p$g
SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyb gr,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys
LoadHigh C:\S4PROV4\S4MOUSE.COM
I opened the software via a DOS window by interupting the start up by pressing F8 this had no affect on the screen size. What I find strange is the fact that all the text that comes up when the computer is starting up and when the DOS mode has been entered are all confined to a small area in the center of the screen, just like when the software opens. Also, when I change the resolution settings in windows the window changes size rather than just the resolution changing, i.e. reducing the resolution down the 640 x 480 makes the screen go down in size to about the same size as when I open the cnc software, I think this must be linked to the problem.
