[RBG7-L] - RE: Getting R:BASE for DOS to run full screen on W2K

[John Engwer]

I loaded RBase on a different PC with W2K and it runs full screen by pressing alt/F4.  There must be some compatibility problem with the video driver on the first machine that I tried (NEC machine).  Both machines have the same OS updates installed (SP4).  On the NEC machine when you press alt/F4 it goes to full screen but RBase is a small window in the center of the screen.   Thanks for all of your suggestions.   John   From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David M.
