Re: Strange DOS window behaviour

All of a sudden any time I use a DOS prompt (Win2K SP3) the window is huge 
and overflows the screen boundary.  In fact the only way I can see all of it 
is to right click on the window in the bar and select _Maximize_ - that makes 
sense right?  It gets smaller when maximized!

Also whenever an install runs a DOS process (e.g. during WDSc install) the 
whole screen flashes black with a huge white blob as the mouse cursor.  In 
most cases this is just annoying - but sometimes it gets "stuck" and I can 
only get my screen back by typing Alt + Tab or something similar.

Any ideas?  Are there some registry entries for the DOS window that may have 
been screwed up?
