Frank, you can try the following commands at the DOS prompt to change the display
settings.
>MODE CON
(This will display the current display settings)
>MODE CON cols=80 lines=25
(This will change the display to the DOS windows of old)
>MODE /?
(This will give you a lot more options you can tinker around with)
All the best
