color=#0000ff size=2>With laptops, this is usually a function of the video card
and not the operating system. The LCD pixels have a fixed size, and it's
not as easy to scale an image as it is on a CRT. The default behavior of
some laptops in lower resolution modes is to NOT do any scaling, which is why
you get a small screen.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>If it can be changed at all, it's probably going to be a
setting in your BIOS configuration. Watch for the message on startup about
how to enter the configuration screen (it's usually DEL, CTRL-F8, F2, or some
such.) Look for something about screen scaling or
resizing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=265525401-07122005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>The downside to this is that if the actual screen
resolution and the video mode the program wants aren't even multiples of each
other, it's going to look bad. So that's your choice - small screen, or
ugly scaling. I've noticed that a lot of newer laptops seem to do a much
better job of scaling. I'm guessing that's because they're putting a
little more processing power into it, and instead of just stretching pixels out
they're resampling to the proper resolution. In that case, you won't get
funky jagged edges, but you might still see fuzziness where you'd expect sharp
edges.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

on screen?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Greetings from NH.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>A friend and I have laptops (w/Win98 installed) running the latest
APRSDOS.</DIV>
<DIV>During boot up, the traditional Windows Logo is short and centered on the
screen.</DIV>
<DIV>Once finalized, (booted up) everything is normal. Screen is filled from
top to bottom</DIV>
<DIV>as usual windows does. But when APRSDOS is invoked from Windows or from a
DOS</DIV>
<DIV>only boot up, the program runs, but VERY small in center of screen.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I remember years ago being able to change the size of the windows boot
screen, but</DIV>
<DIV>have long since fogot. Anybody with advice to get APRS full
screen????</DIV>
