The DOSBox emulator and all its variants, like DOSBox SVN Daum, DOSBox Megabuild 6, vDos and vDosplus, on the Windows OS normally are run inside a window, like any other program.

In some cases you may want to run it (and the DOS program) in fullscreen mode, and it's pretty easy, but unlike DOS, Windows is a multitasking OS, and there are some implications when other Windows program are involved that needs to show something on screen, like the Printfil's Print Preview.

This video shows how to run DOSBox (and vDosPlus, vDos) in fullscreen mode and what happens when printing if the Printfil's print preview is enabled.

Let's go:

Start DOSBox SVN Daum (or MB6)
Press ALT+ENTER to go fullscreen
Simulate a print with DIR (major) LPT1
If the Print Preview is enabled, DOSBox is minimized
Close Preview and DOSBox
Run vDosPlus (or vDos) and press ALT+ENTER
DIR (major) LPT1 creates another Preview
but vDosPlus (and vDos) stays fullscreen until you press ALT+ENTER again
