   Just after posting I tested NT, Vista and Win7 all 32 bit VM's in   
   virtualbox and yes indeed, they all went to full screen using alt-enter.   
      
      
   My Win 8.1 32bit which hosts the vitualbox doesn't change display, instead   
   popping up a box saying "This system does not support fullscreen mode.".   
      
   I'm pretty sure that has been my experience with Win 7 32 bit that I had on   
   a physical machine also.   
      
   Are yours on a virtual machine Todd, or can other's verify the behaviour on   
   physical machines?   
      
   A quick search says it is due to changes in graphic drives in vista and   
   later - and I read a sentence that suggests if you use "XP Mode" then you   
   can go full screen.
