W2000 Server, TS2000 and DOS applications

[Jon Rusten]

At our company we got newly installed servers. One 2-processor server with
Windows 2000 SP3 as file/print and one 2-processor server as
TerminalServices SP3.

We are using a DOS-based application for administrative use. This
application's files resides on the W2k f/p server.

We got a strange behaviour on our server. This is a DOS issue. Then starting
this DOS-application, or starting a dos-session with command or cmd, the
screen is updated slowly. After typing a word or a line the screen is
updated slowly. And the same happens if scrolling in text.

Running the dos-application in full-screen removes the problem and it is
totally ok.

Running the application directly on the w2k server gives the same result.

Running the application on a XP or W2k ws function perfect.

Anyone having any good ideas?

Regards
Jon

I highly recommend you install the program "TAME" on your
terminal Server if it will be running a DOS Application.
We are also in the dark ages here and use a DOS App as our
primary application, if we were,'t running TAME we
couldn't operate. You can get the program at
www.tamedos.com and can try before you buy. W2K Servers
and W2K pro systems are not designed to run DOS Apps so
this program was a life saver for us.

We experienced similar problems with some 16-bit applications on
the newest hardware. Installing the OS as if there is only a
single processor helped on one occasion, downgrading the video
system (graphics card and driver solved another problem. The
ultimate solution is of course to upgrade the 16-bit application.
