Can you install DOS in to the Windows XP and maake it
work ? I have several programs that I wanrt to run but
cannot because they are incompatable with XP. This is a
new computer and I had no choice but to get an XP
operating system. ----OR---- should i format c:\ and
install my old copy of WIN 98 and forget it. So far I am
not impressed with WIN XP.

Hi, DOS cannot be installed onto or into Windows XP.

Some DOS Programs will run. Others won't. Check with the maker of the
programs to see if they have XP Updates. Also, Try compatability mode in
XP.

If all else fails. You can either re-foramt and load Win98 or, set uoo
a dual-boot configureation.
