DOS help

[dakmont]

Hi All,

I have a does based program that will not install on
windows xp home edition. I tried the i386/winnt idea but
was uniable to do it without what appeared to be
installling another version of windows. I really do not
want to go there. Also, windows xp does not recognize any
files on the disk.

Without dual booting, booting to DOS via diskette, etc - you may be out of
luck.

If the program will not Install - cannot be copied and compatability mode
does nothing - then you may have a program that just will not run on Windows
XP.
