   Just forget my comment. I guess this will not work as expected, because   
   of graphics mode. Windows' DOS emulation hooks video BIOS interrupt   
   (10h) and looks for certain stuff. Encountering a switch to some   
   graphics mode will (always?) give you full screen. AFAIK it also depends   
   on your graphics card's driver/BIOS.

   "struggle" is a very bad error description.
