Hi,
I have some old DOS shareware game programs that I'd
like to copy onto my Vista based laptop. The are on a flopy so I copyed
them to a flash drive (dont have a floppy drive on my fancy new computer!).
Two problems: the first is that when I go to "my computer" it's not obvious
how to copy files to the hard drive. Suggestions? Second is that when I try
to run the DOS program off the Flash drive, I get a messsage that this is a
16 bit program & gives me the choice to quit or ignore. When I choose ignore,
it was accurately named. Vista ignores me! Endless loop!
Thought to myself, why not get to DOS & try from there. Can't find DOS. None
of these issues are a problem on my XP based system.
I'd love advice on any or all of these questions.
Thanking you in advance,
Mary
