Dos program may be using Up My Internet allowance
Hello
Recently, I found that my internet allowance went a lot faster than it used to be. My ISP said that's probably because of some background programs running without my knowledge. I have not registered with messenger or Skype or another social site etc. (although my wife has a Facebook account, she rarely use the computer). My use of the computer is very simple - usually emails, checking something (like using the Microsoft Answer Website now) and shopping. 3 months ago I used usually about 400-600 MB per month, but now I use almost 1 G per month. I know that usage is still very low anyway. But... is there a way I can check if a background program runs when my PC is turned on?
Advice, please?
Hello
Resource monitor is a tool that allows you to analyze the use of the CPU, disk, network, and memory in real time.
You can use the performance tab in the Manager of tasks to see how the CPU of your computer is used by Windows and other programs running on your computer.

Shortcut Windows 7 to the MS-DOS program icon will not change
I have an old MS-DOS program that I use and I need to create a toolbar that contains a link to other programs. However, when I try to change the icon for the shortcut, it passes in the properties box, but does not actually change the icon in the bar of tools/folder, instead I get an icon of Virgin paper. Does anyone know a workaround or fix for this?
What I've done is to create a command (.cmd) file using Notepad
run and the path to the app BACK for example
Run E:\rbase.exe
Save it as a file .cmd or simply change the extension to .cmd .txt
For example, call Rbase.cmd
Then using New (right click) on the desktop, create a shortcut to the .cmd file.
You can change this shortcut icon.

Is there a a way to turn off the screen while using a DOS program?
I have an A4 and recently when you use a program to BACK hard drive (which may take several hours) I found that I was unable to turn the display off.
Of course, the usual display controls depend on Windows but surely there must be a way to do this in the BACK?
Hello
I don t think that there is a way to use a DOS program. All Toshiba and public services programs are designed for Windows OS and they work only in Windows environment.
I m no programmer but I think it s is not possible.
Moreover you will not find any solution to your problem. There are users looking for solutions to common problems and questions.
In my opinion, look for a solution in forums for programmers and software developers.Good luck
Good bye

Is it possible to use an old dos program in Windows 7?
Is it possible to use an old dos program in Windows 7? Much needed.
Perhaps. This will depend on the DOS program and if you have a version 32 or 64 bit Win7. It is impossible to run some DOS programs natively in Win7 64-bit. If you have Win7 32 bit, you can try running in Compatibility Mode. See & Win7 support for more details. If it does not or you have Win7 64-bit, create a virtual machine running BACK instead with a virtualization software such as MS Virtual PC , VMware Workstation or VirtualBox from Sun . Also check out DOSBox it's maybe the best solution for you.

2. bring to sign out and sign back in to check their eligibility.
3. If the problem persists, then try this:

The recovery of the system takes your computer to a State where you will have just the factory settings and nothing more. In other words, that it will also format the computer in this process.
So, I'm sure that the cookie will be effacΘ when you do a full system restore. You can check the items below which talks about backup and restore. I also suggest you make a backup of data you want to keep for the future and to restore once you reinstall the operating system.

How can I fix the NTVDM. EXE Error trying to open an old DOS program?
NTVDM. EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. That is the message in the box that appears whenever I try to run my program.
Hello
1. what MS-DOS version do you use to run the program?
2. it worked earlier?
3 did you last modified the software on the computer?
NTVDM. EXE Windows process to run legacy doc (16 BITS) process on machines of 32-BIT or 64-BIT now. NTVDM has been around for a long time, however the architecture of the operating system has changed, especially with Windows 7.
Maybe it's that your app is trying to do something that Windows 7 simply does no more - with some changes things has changed and some applications no longer work.
There is a "Windows XP Mode" for Windows 7 that you can download for free from Microsoft-
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx - this would allow you to run your application in what is essentially a virtual machine running Windows XP figure and thus behave as such.
I would recommend that you take this approach and check.
Hope this helps and keep us informed if you need help.
