  • Now, download the DosBox setup from here
  • Install DosBox in your system.
  • Now run DosBox. A command prompt type window will appear. Now note that there is a difference between the command prompt our system is equipped with and this version of command prompt. This emulator is 32-bit in contrary to native 16-bit prompt, therefore, allowing you to run it in full screen mode.
  • In this window, we now need to mount the folder via this command:   
This tells about the reason behind creating another directory while extracting TC3setup.exe. Mounting works relative to a folder, here Turbo.

Type
>cd tc
>cd bin



to reach within subdirectories for tc.exe
Now type tc and press Enter.
Press Alt + Enter to go in Full Screen Mode.


This task may look all so tedious. But, everything can be automated in a single go.
Once you have successfully managed to run it in full screen mode, you can easily automate the process by editing configuration file. You can drop comments below in case of any problem to get through.
