How can I use the Windows 7 command prompt in fullscreen? [duplicate]

I use some DOS applications in Windows 7.

Before Windows 7, I could press Alt+Enter to run the application in full screen, but with Windows 7 I can't do this anymore.

I get the message:

This system does not support full screen mode

Is there any workaround?

Solution 1:

I know that this isn't related to CMD, but if you really need to run dos applications in full screen, you can try setting up DosBox. http://www.dosbox.com/

Solution 2:

Full-screen mode for console applications (regardless of whether they're DOS programs or Windows console applications) isn't supported anymore with WDDM display drivers. You should still be able to go full-screen when using legacy drivers, although you then lose Aero and most of the hardware acceleration for display.
