No full screen mode for DOS/console programs

As was the situation with Windows Vista, the Windows 7's Display Driver Model (WDDM) does not support all DOS video modes and therefore DOS-based and Win32 console programs cannot run in full screen mode. For example, pressing Alt+Enter while running edit.com in the command line window gives a message
This system does not support fullscreen mode.















Please, fix this in the future versions of Windows 7. Full screen mode is always needed.

  1. I agree, I miss it too, and I don't think that it will be fixed, because it's not some kind of bug..

  2. Thanks for you reply! I think that it's possible to run DOS programs in full screen mode in Windows XP Mode.
