MS-DOS-Based Programs Do Not Use Entire Screen

 * }

Q130720

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you run an MS-DOS-based program in Windows 95, the program may use only the upper two-thirds of the screen.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if you are using a Cirrus Logic 6440 display adapter and the number of lines on the screen has been changed to more than 25.

RESOLUTION
Please contact Cirrus Logic for information about resolving this problem.

STATUS
Cirrus Logic has confirmed this to be a problem in the Cirrus Logic 6440 display adapter BIOS.

MORE INFORMATION
If you increase the number of lines on the screen to more than 25 (for example, by using the MODE CON:LINES=43 command), the Cirrus Logic 6440 display adapter uses only the upper two-thirds of the screen for MS-DOS- based programs. Changing the number of lines on the screen back to 25 does not correct the problem.
