Old dos game + Cohereance = weirdness
Hello,

I was trying to play an old DOS game I wrote back in the day on my XP VM. In Coherence mode the game runs, but only the parts of the screen that were covered in windows before the app tries to switch to full-screen mode are visible.

So that you can test it, I've uploaded th game (and source-code to it) to my university account. It can be downloaded at this location. (self-extracting exe). The game is covered by the GPL license.

I'm sure other DOS games will have the same problem...
