i have old legacy dos applciations that still make us a bundle of money. I am started to finally see clients running them on XP. Problem is the screens (generated with an old product called SCREENIO) always get forced into full screen mode. no obvious settings help (such as the windowed mode check box). i have tried to enable ansi.sys in the config.nt file, but it doesn't seem to go into memory. i've tried intel, ati, and nvidia cards. anyone seenthis might have an idea?

use DOSBox http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.... or use a virtual machine: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/... all for free! Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

sry, the 2nd link should be: http://www.virtualbox.org/ Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

thanks for the quick response! they are upgrading to a 2003 windows server at the same time, so i need network support. i have some experience with the microsoft virtual desktop products. Do you have experience with Virtual box? if so, how is the network support?

of course ... chose win98se as the guest OS (all your dos programs should run fine in win98) and you have full networking support. Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
