My old DOS programs

Guest

I have some programs written DBASEIV and have difficulties to run them one of
my PC's. I have two PC and OS are WinXP pro on both. I installed XP from the
same CD on both PC. Why one is okey with running the Dbase programs while the
other is not. It seems that the problem is related with the display adapters.
I have NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X(Microsoft Corporation) adapter in
the problemed PC.
When the screen is full mode turkish characters are destroyed. When the
screen is windows mode the characters are ok.
Please help...

You should ask in Turkish groups. Not many English speakers speak Osmanli (or Arabic or Kurdish). A full mode application is controlling the video card direct. But ask Turks who are used to configuring their machines to display osmanli characters.

Follow the advice already given by contacting a local newsgroup
or support system. We have no problems running dBase for DOS 4
or 5 in Windows NT, 2000 or XP. However, your issue may reside
with the handling of fonts within XP's DOS emulator and there is
probably a local (i.e., Turkish) answer to this issue. Remember,
there is a considerable difference between Windows 98 and Windows
XP and what had ran successfully in Win98 may not do so in WinXP
without appropriate tweaking.
