If a brief search doesn't bring up anything 
eg
http://www.google.com/search?q=running+dos+games+in+windows+98+screen+size&btnG=Search&hl=en&client=mozilla&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial

then, it's simply the resolution of the game that differs from what the
OS/Libretto can handle full screen.

I'd start by seeing if there's anyway to set the game to run 640x480 resolution
or another resolution in Win98, then running the game.

Otherwise, I'm far too old-school to even play Settlers2 on my Libretto --
mostly Infocom games, or emulators for Atari 2600 and Sega Genesis =)

Does anyone know how to get those old DOS games (like wolfenstein) to run 
full-screen? Newer games like Settlers2 run fullscreen perfectly, but the older 
ones don't. They do have (almost) the right aspect ratio, but the image is too 
small. Check out my advanced drawings of the Libretto screen;):

|   |dos game  =   ||
|   |   too small ||

Setting "auto stretch" in the BIOS makes things a little better:
 
|-|

|dos game  = |
|   stretched  |

I'm using 98se on a 110ct.
 
Any ideas? How do I get my retro games full-screen?
