| | Re: Dos based program 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.
