Hm, this could well be a problem with your video drivers rather
than a DOS related problem. At least at times of Windows 3 I
encountered such fullscreen/windowed mode problem with many SVGA
video card drivers (especially Video7 and S3).
In the case you would use this combination again in the future:
Does the problem also happen when running on MS-DOS 6.22 instead of
DR-DOS 7.0x. Are you using the new FILESHIGH or FCBSHIGH directives?
Is 32-bit disk access and/or file access enabled in WfW?
