Help! Need full size DOS screen in Vista?

We change the settings in our DOS window but they do not stay changed. Any suggestions? We are running an old FoxPro program in DOS under VISTA

Installing the video drivers for XP on Vista will solve this problem :

"Update" the graphics driver to "Standard VGA"

Restart the system (It should ask to restart anyway)

It will restart in 256 color mode, and you should be able to get a full screen DOS prompt.

Next, you have to install the right graphics driver manually (don't let vista choose for you) and select the driver for Win2000 or XP.

The system should now work perfectly in full screen command prompt mode.
