>Hi All, just tried running one of our legacy DOS apps ( read: we are not going to rewrite it ) on a Vista box and found you cannot run it in full screen - any one know a workaround ?

Pete,

Perhaps you might want to try a command prompt emulator like DosBox. I know firsthand that it works on Vista because of an old program my father still likes to use on his machine. I think it just involved setting up a shortcut that launches Dosbox with the right command line parameters, and he was able to run it full screen on his Vista box without any issues at all.
