<p>PhilliKon: </p> <hr /> <div>I hate to get off the games subject but I was directed to DOSBox in hopes that my dos app(not a game) might run in DOSBox.<br /> <br /> The problem I am having is that my app needs about 74mb of mem to run: <br /> Conventional mem 640K<br /> Reserved mem 384K<br /> Extended XMS mem 73K<br /> DOS running in High mem area<br /> <br /> Right now I am running Win 95 and re-booting into DOS to run. Also using in the autoexec.bat file:<br /> HIMEM.SYS (BLV TO BE 16BIT)<br /> EMM386.EXE<br /> POWER.EXE<br /> <br /> I am wanting this to run on my XP machine. I have tried many suggestions to no avail. I need this to run in XP for a variety of reasons. One being that I need ready access, via explorer, to the files the app creates.<br /> <br /> You are about my last try. About to give up.<br /> <br /> Thank You,<br /> Tom,<br /> faxpay<br /> <br /> Hi <br /> <br /> I don't know what program you are trying to run but if DBOX isnt working try using Virtual PC <br /> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx <br /> You will need your original DOS disks and Windows disks would really be an advantage as you need to install the additions CD to it via Windows.<br /> <br /> Virtual PC is free and it is free to use.<br /> <br /> When set up correctly it will allow for access to your virtual drives from your Host machine, this way you get the best of both worlds.<br /> This is a business device, as there is absolutely no Direct3D or direct draw support.<br /> <br /> Hope this helps</div>
