Dos program issue in win 2000 after SP4 Update

A

ABS

Upgraded to service pack 4 on Win 2000 machines and now
several of our dos applications hang during initial
execution. They were all running ok under SP3. The
programs that now give us issues are the accounting
software called Redwing as well as WP 5.0. Is there an
issue with dos apps. with SP4 and if so is there a work
around. The programs run ok in a Window but will not run
full screen. This is a problem as thw screen is only able
to display about 2/3 of the program. We use some other
dos applications and they seem ok even after updating to
SP4.

Activate compatibility settings and try them. Run command:

regsvr32.exe c:\windows\apppatch\slayerui.dll

and you have new "compatiblity" tab on file properties
