One problem solved

Post by LS 4722 »

The dongle issue in my previous thread is a non issue now..it's solved.

Now, do any of you who run Win 7 64 bit also run 16 bit Dos programs? I was doing some web browsing on the subject and saw that there are a few ways to do this, but I thought asking you guys about this would be beneficial.

Unfortunately you can't run 16 bit programs or processes in the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

There are a few workarounds, the easiest of which is to run DOSBox. It's available free to download, and is basically just a simple DOS emulator. It's worked for me in the past on things like Simplicity Sight Survey.
