How to Maxmize the DoS box Window while playing Pristroic2 game... its feels hard to play in small window..
Hi I have a guide that shows a couple ways of doing this (link below). Enjoy the game!

I tried to maximise the window by pressing simultaneously Alt + Enter, but it causes a very slow game and I can ensure you that my problem is not the hardware...
Bye, thank you all for the very useful guide!
This guide might help with Dosbox performance.

Even with fast hardware some games have emulator issues in certain circumstances so it's worth a shot.

Hi, I have windows 7... It does not work... What shall I do?
thanks!
Me too, windows 7 and it doesn't work. Does anyone have a solution for that?
It doesn`t work, it`s true. oh i want it so much :(
I just retested the guide on Windows 7 64-bit and it works. Double check and make sure the game is downloaded from Abandonia and the dosbox commands are entered correctly and every was step followed correctly as well.
Best,
Glenn
