Hey all,

I have a WinXP Pro machine that is serving an old DOS program which opens full screen. It worked fine over XP SP2, however after updating to SP3 it started giving an error that it could not initialize the fullscreen mode. Found out that SP3 Terminal services has an issue with running fullscreen DOS apps, so I uninstalled SP3. Now it's still giving the same error. I tried using VNC instead, which is in fact running the app, but it doesn't appear as such on the client machine. The server shows the app maximized, but the client still see's the server's desktop with the DOS app in the taskbar.

Any ideas on how I can either get Remote Desktop or VNC to actually -show- the maximized DOS program on the client?
