Well, I've never heard of SCI games running in little windows with the standard interpreter before. I suppose you could try pressing Alt-Enter to tell Windows you want to run it full-screen...

I don't think the interpreter is the problem, since all DOS programs run in this tiny window under XP...  can't get anything to be full screen...

I've not been using FreeSCI...  would that allow the games to run in full screen under XP?

I've heard that a lot of people have trouble getting the games to run period...   for me, they all run perfectly, just in the small window.

I also have a machine running Windows ME...  the games run in either full screen, or not at all ( the VGA games all want more memory... even though PCs in that day didn't have near the amount of RAM that newer ones have.

Does anyone know how to get "DOS" games to run in full screen mode in Windows XP?  All of my old Sierra games run in a tiny window...  even though I've checked the "full screen" and "640x480" options...

For those contacting Sierra/Dynamix alumni, I would certainly appreciate your assistance in the efforts of the Sierra Museum. The Sierra Museum's website is currently in alpha and I'm working hard to get it to a beta stage.

The Sierra Museum has arisen from the Art of Sierra project and my long involvement with trying to preserve and archive Sierra's history, back to the early days of SierraGamers.com (Ken's website, not the Facebook group), and I welcome and seek donations (or loans) of anything related to Sierra. The Art of Sierra team has created goodwill with many Sierra and Dynamix alumni in the course of our work, and the Museum curates the largest physical collection of original Sierra materials. It's my belief that the physical preservation of as much Sierra material as posssible, bringing Sierra's scattered history back into one place, is just as important as the digital preservation of those materials.

If in the course of contacting alumni you would consider mentioning the Museum, it would be most appreciated. The more physical documents and other physical items that enter the care of the Museum, the greater the awareness of the Museum as the best place to trust with those materials. Items that make their way to the Museum can then be archived and shared according to the wishes of the person donating the materials.
