Small window in DOS program

I have Windows 98 working on MS Virtual PC 2007. There is a problem with
displaying DOS program properly.

Actually, when I start this program in fullscreen mode (or maximize it from
a window - no difference) it is displayed only in a small window (app. 10x5cm
on the 17" screen) while the rest of the screen is black.
Any suggestion how to make it make it work fullscreen mode properly?

Thanks for any help!

If you are talking about running the DOS program *inside* of the Win98
virtual machine in "full screen", then this is not a VirtualPC
question. It is about how DOS programs interact with Win98 and is
probably best asked in a forum for Win98 or the DOS program...

RE: Small window in DOS program

Not sure if it is win98 or win95, but you can try "exit (win98) to DOS".
