W98 DOS7 Screen Mode fix?

When I run DOS program under W98/DOS7 they look like they have been
flattened, like a wide screen movie viewed on a regular screen.
Is there any way to fix this? Mode command?

I just push the "auto" button on my LCD monitor and everything gets
adjusted.

I'm not sure exactly what you are describing, but if you are running a
DOS program in a Windows DOS box, use Alt-Enter to toggle between
windowed and full screen modes.

or it could be the OP has (inadvertently) changed font or screen size.
(right click the title bar, choose properties and change the Font tab
Font Size (probably to Auto); also look at the Screen tab and confirm
that Usage Initial Size is Default.

mode co80

I will try co80.

What happens is old DOS programs, even running in pure DOS mode
don't use the full screen under w98.

They use like a stripe in the middle.

It is most annoying with EMACS.

I know if I dual booted DOS6 and DOS7/W98 I won't have this
problem, but it seems excessive.

Are you using an LCD monitor or a CRT?

I can't see why "DOS7" would behave any differently to DOS6.22.

If you add the following lines to your msdos.sys file, then you will
be able to choose between DOS or Windows from a boot menu at each
bootup.

BootMenu=1
BootMenuDelay=5
