alt-enter will maximize the windows once you start the game.

the patch starts them in windowed mode rather then fullscreen.

By the way - are you using an LCD monitor? There is a patch for LCD's.

Anyways, after the patch there will be a dosbox.conf file in each driectory of your games;
ie: C: \Program Files\Sierra\Space Quest Collection(TM)\sq2\dosbox.conf

(remember - your collection and dosbox 0.65 MUSt both be installed to your C: ) - you did d/l and install dosbox 0.65 - right?

If you installed dosbox 0.65 and space quest compilation to your c:, and then ran the patch, and your still ahve trouble with the game window not being centered then you cane dit your dosbox.conf file located in the directory listed above.

To edit it you want to find the lines:

aspect = true
scaler = advmame3x

Fool around with these. Try turning aspect to false. Also try changing your scaler to either none, normal3x, or one of the others listed in the comment section. If all that doesnt work, let me know and I'll pull some more settings you can actually add to the conf file which may fix it.
