| 455691 | 2006-05-18 06:35:00 | Open a "command" or "cmd" window with the Start/Run and start the programme manually. That should stay long enough for you to see messages which might tell you why it doesn't work. Of course, there may be no way. ;) Games often accessed the hardware in the fastest possible way, and those ways (direct register access) are often not allowed in the later OSs. |

| 455693 | 2006-05-18 06:48:00 | don't forget XP dosn't have MS-dos . . . it only has DOS emulation so it may not work anyway . what sort of application is it? any details on the app at all? |

| 455694 | 2006-05-18 06:49:00 | You may be lucky. It's complaining that it doesn't fit in 640kB of memory. I think there are ways around that. One of the XPerts will know how to do that. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 455695 | 2006-05-18 06:52:00 | It sounds like a game if its 770mb! And if it's got an ms-dos file / icon, it sounds like its corrupted . |

| 455698 | 2006-05-18 07:50:00 | I can't believe any ms-dos program was as big as 770Mbytes, either that's a typo, or we are being had. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
