| 869222 | 2010-03-23 09:45:00 | There is one thing you could try. In Windows XP there is a folder called 'repair'. Copy the files from this folder to your 'system' folder & the 'system32' folders. This can restore the 16bit support this way. |

| 869223 | 2010-03-24 04:04:00 | Thanks mzee, will have to go back to PCU who upgraded the machine and see what the problem might be. First time I have used them for years and the staff turnovers doesn't help either. Copied the repair folder to both system/system32 folders and still the same loop and nothing. Would the difference in file structure be the problem, new drive is NTFS whereas old hard drive was Fat32. Lurks. |

| 869226 | 2010-03-24 10:10:00 | My drives are NTFS. Dos Box should show up as Dos when you run it, but will not do anything until the 'inf' is set up. At the end of the page it will create a virtual drive C which will = your drive\progname.exe The earlier DossBox had problems with Sp3 & W7, but the latest is fine. |
