dual monitors issue with dos

i know this isnt a pc forum, but you guys know stuff...and we're all geeks, so I guess some of you will have dual monitors?

I have a radeon 7000 card in my works pc, with a samsung widescreen on the digital output and digifusion on the vga.

windows xp

normal windows everything works fine. but if i go full screen dos, both screens just go blank. the application is still running, and accepts keystrokes, and i can exit. this includes just calling up the command line from the start menu

trouble is my cadd software is dos, and only runs full screen.

so i am miffed.

google returned surprisingly little info as well. actually, none that i could find.

HELP!!!!

Have you tried running the program in DOSBox.

Click to expand...

really i used that in linux to port old dos games. man doom is fun

U prefer DOSEmu under Linux because it's faster.

I used DOSBox under linux to run QBASIC. Good stuff I say! I never had any luck with DOSEmu...
