Bob,
I am trying to run an old dos based program which use to run on window XP but it will not run in an enlarged window in Vista Premium. Any suggestions? -- Christopher Fazio VMD "Bob" <> wrote in message news  . ..> Can you be more specific? > > ========================== > Got Vista problems or questions? > Start here. > ========================== > http://www.vistax64.com/search.php > > "Chris Fazio" <> wrote in message > news:%... >> Does anyone have any suggestions on running a Dos based program in Vista? >> >> >> -- >> Christopher Fazio VMD > |

Have you tried running the command prompt as Administrator? Can you tell us
what the program is? Now you have me wondering if an old CGA strip poker game I used to have will still play... Also, there's Virtual PC. I have one kid's program that is XP only and dual boot seemed like overkill.
