hi, i noticed that whenever i try and play dos games, the screen gets a lil messed up

i mean, they are playable, but its not right

basiclaly, the top ince or so of the screen is moved right to the bottom of the screen

and there is a big black area between this small scetion of screen and the rets of the main are whcih shows the actual playable part of the screen

well, i fixed it

i am now using dosbox still

but i edited the file dosbox.conf

i changed fullfixed=false to fullfixed=true

then i changed fullwidth=0 to full width=640

and finally fullheight=0 to fullheight=480

now it works fine :)

so if anyone else had those problems, thats what to do

make those changes, jsut open the file in notpad, then save it and youre done :)
