Can I wait my MS-DOS programs to work under Windows 8?
Out of curiosity I just installed Windows 8, 64 bit on my laptop which has Windows 7. I like to win. 8 fine. It works very well. I don't understand what all the fuss is about. This comes from a 75 year old guy.
QUESTION: I also have a couple of machines with Windows XP, 32 bit on which I run a database editor and text from MS-DOS. Can I expect my MS-DOS program to run under Windows 8, 32-bit?
Thank you... Hugh

Malicious software could play a role:
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to do a thorough check and removal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect the cause.
No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy to detect malicious software is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove the payload. So its best to be now too thorough than paying the high price later. Check with them to an extreme exaggeration, and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

I just upgraded my Dell Dimension 5100 to Windows 7 from XP. I can't get any internet connection with cable or wireless. I think the problem is the PCI modem. Where can I download the compatible driver Intel(r) 537EP V9x DF PCI Modem work under Windows 7?
Original title: MODEM PCI FOR WINDOWS 7 DRIVER
Thank you for your comments. I use the dial upward. However, my PC does not connect to broadband, even with direct Ethernet cable connection or adapter wireless Netgear WPN111, I used happily with XP on the same computer. Device Manager displays the PCI as incompatible. FYI, I downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the wireless card.
Install the following:
Dell systems must run more stably once they installed. I would remove the modem PCI card.
Intel Pro/100 VE Ethernet should work natively with Windows 7 as Windows 7 has built-in driver:

I have a window 7 but a version 6.1 program does not run in it. He says it's incompatible with the program. What can I do to make the program work?
Hi Tony,.
For you help I would be grateful if you could answer the following question:
What program are you trying to install?
I suggest you to install the program in compatibility mode and check.
Make older programs in this version of Windows
Most of the programs created for earlier versions of Windows also work in this version of Windows, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work, you can try to change the program compatibility settings, by using the program compatibility problems or manually choose compatibility settings.
