I was using my dos programs written with dbase42 without having any problems.
My operating system was windows98 Se. I changed my operating system and using
Windows XP professional now. I am having problems with my dbase42 programs.
When I run a dbase program and adjust the screen to full mode turkish
characters are destroyed. If I use the screen with the windowed mode the
characters are okey. I am affraid Dosbox didn't solve the problem. Is there
anyone to help me. I would appreciate it....

Ankarali,
Did you try setting the Compatablility Mode? Right-click on the executable (or .PIF file), select Properties, then the Compatability tab.
