Problems with DOS in fullscreen.
 
I happen to have a problem when running games in full screen and sometimes when not in DOS. The game seems to be too far to the right and I can't see the right half of the screen. I looked onto the DOSBOX wiki and found nothing that could help me. Can someone tell me what I can do about this?

try playing with fullscreen parameters in dosbox.conf

for example fullresolution

It might also be simply because you need to mess up with the screen placement of your monitor.

Don't ask me why, but sometimes monitors have different axis setting for different resolutions... And some monitors seems to be way off mark by default.

If it is the case, messing around the axis in full screen (usually 800x600 for old games instead of the now default minimum of 1024x768) won't affect your "normal" screen display.

Or your monitor's aspect ratio is different from the game's original ratio.

I had problems like this on different PCs. Just change aspect=false to aspect=true in dosbox.conf or type that in DosBox itself.

If you're using a LCD monitor, try pressing the auto-adjust button.

I agree with Eagle of Fire. This only happens on CRT monitors.
