Whenever I try to run a DOS game on XP, the 'screen' is about 1 inch too low. It has happened with all the DOS-based programs I've run that I haven't launched from a DOS startup. I realise that it's emulated in XP, but any ideas on how to get it normal?

The Stats:

Intel Penium 4 laptop, 1.2 Ghz
256 MB RAM
Windows XP Proffesional
Some unrecognised russian-made video card

For some reason, I can't partition my HD at all, so I can't make a DOS startup drive.
I'm thinking a proper DOS emulator might be the way to go, anyone got any suggestions?
