I am using windows 7 ultimate 32-bit edition,
But when I try to run any dos screen like command prompt, c++ compiler etc.
They are not going to full screen mode,
Please tell me how to run my c++ compiler or any dos screen in full screen mode ……in windows 7..
Thanks…. :-)
Hello DOS's can not run in full screen mode.
But to increase the size you may go for clicking top left icon >properties and change the appropriate size of windows.
I beg to differ... on my Win7 Laptop I can run the Command Prompt (Dos is not in Win7!) if the resolution is set really low, from memory I believe it is 640x480 or lower.
How do I expand my laptop screen for DOS windows
Full screen for DOS based programs are disabled in Windows7, but still if you want to use fullscreen use Dosbox software.
Please thumb up if you found this useful.
This should of been marked solved by ikunu. quick resolution for making the window in a longer format is the windows key+up arrow

Same here, When i read this thread, i run my laptop to see if its running and it does. I can view it on full screen mode.

you are correct DOS does not in Win7 that's why back in windows 3.1 they started the MS-DOS which is your "Command Prompt" as you read now. Little knowledge and takes you far to know the old to understand the new.
There is no DOS in Windows 7 now.
It is now incorporated in a Command Prompt (cmd.exe) to support DOS Commands.
But not such and such as DOS in full-screen mode.
The latest Windows Display Driver Model(WDDM) does not support DOS in full screen now. Workaround: you may revert to an XP Version of WDDM if you insist still to full screen Command Prompt, or DOS, either.
But for me I do not recommend reverting to XP version of WDDM. It is really very tricky thing to do since you own a Windows 7.
