How to Run TurboC in full screen on Windows Vista

I learnt C and C++ programming on windows 98 and have worked on windows XP, which showed a full screen turboC window to work on.(and cheat during exams).
But today’s leading operating systems like Vista (32 bit) do not support a full screen view of turbo C. There is a very simple 5 step solution that will make our Turbo C / C++ screen full screen and running.
  1. Open tc.exe from c:/tc/bin/tc.exe.
  2. It may show you a warning message that it does not support full screen mode, click ignore. 

     3. On the top left corner of this small turbo c window, left click with your mouse and select properties from the menu and then select Font tab. There will be only 2 options in the font tab: ‘Raster’ and ‘Lucida Console’.


     4.  Select and ‘Lucida Console’ font if it’s not selected and set the font size to 28.

     5.  Next, Select the Layout tab and do the following:
  •    Unselect ‘Let system position window’ check box. 
  •    Set Screen Buffer Size: Width 82 and Height 28. 
  •    Set Window Size: Width 80 and Height 26. 
  •    Set Window Position: Left: -4 Top: -4 

And you are ready to code... Happy coding!!!
Note that these numbers i gave you suit me and my laptop's settings, you can play around with them to get the best result for your computer. 
PS: If you don’t have Turbo C setup, click here to download it Now or mail me at idontloveu@gmail.com to get a copy of turboC .
