Compatibility Wizard. I have programs on 3.5 floppy disk
that were written in DOS, Windows 3.1, 95, 98ME & SE and
they all run fine in WindowsXP, some are over 10 years
old. Try to run it in DOS mode. Go to Start/Run/type
CMD/that will give you the Command Prompt. Type A: and
hit enter, now type dir/w that will list everything on
your disk. You can even run it that way.
