Windows XP has absolutely no relation to DOS whatsoever, apart from the fact they're both made by Microsoft, so there's no such thing as real mode DOS in Windows XP.

(Windows 9x was effectively DOS with a GUI)

1257866 2012-02-07 11:41:00 If you use Dosbox, I'd recommend you use a GUI front-end for it, much easier to set up

I use Ampshell (not listed on above site)

Or for a 'better' experience, use this: www.dosgamers.com
