    I use Windows 7 Ultimate OS. The command prompt can't be opened in full screen mode(Shows the error msg when i press Ctrl+Alt:This system does not support full screen mode). But, in SAFE MODE i can run the cmd(command) mode in full screen..
    If i install the XP mode Vertualization software,can i resolve this issue ? Bec, jus to work in command mode,i cant restart my laptop everytime to get into safe mode and normal mode.. And in XP mode, will my Windows 7 display changes to XP type ?


    *Note: I also use a software called Turbo C++,which encounters the same problem of not supporting the full screen.. If i get into SAFE MODE, i can work in Full screen without any probem..

    1) Disable integration features
    2) Set host resolution closest to full screen command prompt resolution
    3) View VM in full screen
    4) Make command prompt / Turbo C++ full screen

    Suraj,
    You need to understand what XP mode is.
    It is a virtual machine. Go watch the video linked below

    Open Command Prompt

    That's bizarre, after typing WMIC, maximize the window, then type EXIT
    to get back to a normal command prompt.  Never thought of doing
    something like that...

    Well natively, command prompt can't be done full screen but external softwares can emulate a Full screen command prompt. Such as like this:

    That's stupid, why would I disable my graphics card when all I have to do is type wmic, maximize the screen and type exit?  It takes two seconds and I still have my graphics card enabled for multitasking.  Also stupid is installing "external softwares" which isn't necessary at all

    That's not quite the same as full screen, there would be no border or
    scroll bars, but it's a pretty slick trick to get a maximized command
    line!
