Try Alt-Enter once the game has begun.

Also, if there is a .pif file, it might be worth trying it's properties instead of the .exe

Try to play it via DOSBox... Set DOSBox to start with fullscreen or press alt-enter like Dosser said...

If it isn't about a DOS-game... Don't post here... Ah whatever... I'm just a noob... Don't be so offensive...

About dos games not running in a window.............
Windows 95 has this talent to make some dos programs run in a window.
It's called "Dos Window or Dos session under Win95"
You can run 16-bit Dos programs and make it seem like a
32-bit Windows program. Just don't use Dos 6.22 or older under
Windows 95. Dos 7.0 works best.

It's amazing how you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
