You could try changing output mode or the size the window is displayed at to something near your fullscreen resolution. dosbox.conf is your friend there.

Edit: The guy who made Ravenloft 1 just auto load all the dosbox commands, is he a programmer is that something hard to do? Or is it possible I can do something similar so I just double click the icon and this thing loads up?
It's extremely easy.
DOSBox is designed to automatically run any commands placed in the [autoexec] section at the end of your dosbox.conf when it's started.

In fact, there are ways to combine that with the way DOSBox supports using multiple configs at once and create special shortcuts to run the game without overwriting your original config file

There's another, more powerful and portable solution, but it requires some additions to file associations (which I'm told is a little harder to do in Windows 7 than in XP). The upside is that once done you can use the .conf files directly to run the games, and moving to a different machine is as simple as copying over the files.

I'm running a derivative of that solution myself.
