Windows XP

[Guest]

I've being trying to download a program from the internet but i keep getting
the message that this system can not run MS-DOS and Microsoft windows
applications. My system is Windows XP. How can I solve this problem?

What program is it,usually a MS DOS program gets installed to a MS-DOS form-
mated floppy,then on restart,enter the BIOS,set to boot to floppy,run the
program.

What is the specific error message you're receiving? What is the name of the
program you're trying to run?

Many MS_DOS programs will not run on XP because the Autoexec.nt & config.nt
files are missing. They should be in the c:\windows\system32 folder. If
they're not they can be copied from c:\windows\repair.

Even if they are there, they may need to be edited to run your particular
program.

Hope this helps,
