i have installed dos 6.22 and it's working fine but i did that to install an
old game
called magic carpet now the game is also working fine but he's a bit too
fast for me
i was thingking using moslo tool to slow it down a bit but i don't know how
to transfer the files to the dos virtual machine i tried vmaditions 2004 but
no luck it didn't worked how can i transfer files from windows 7 to dos
virtual machine?

and by the i tried vpc rc for windows 7 but couldn't installed it because my
computer is too old to support virtualization so it reverse the installion
automaticly.

10x in advance.

Have you tried DosBox?
It's a free MS-DOS emulator designed for running old games, and does that
much better than a full-blown virtual machine with DOS. I'm currently using
it to play X-Com (great one, that!) and I'm absolutely happy with it.

tried it many times in the past and it didn't worked so well with this game
always crashed not on xp any way i'm thinging about giving it a chance now on
windows 7 or stay with dos and get use to the higer game play which is not as
high as it was in xp in previous attempts with dos box any way i'v solved the
problem download this file DOS Virtual Machine Additions.vfd opend it via a
drive then dosadd and that it.

There are DOS additions on my website, but you need to manually
install them, there's no wizard for DOS.
Also, you could get WinImage, make a floppy image and use that to move
the app over.
