How to run a DOS on XP Professional program

Is it possible to run an old program BACK on a system using XP Professional?  To get an updated program would mean manually enter 2500 files.

I found a simple painless 3rd party open source solution. It is simply done by running a BACK EMU called Dosbox.

Use the latest version of www.dosbox.com.

Read the easy to understand by the Doc for the command line interface commands. Worked perfectly the first time to run an old (something 80) BACK ASCII B & W strategy game that I use to start BACK on a 4 platform mghz v3.2 clone IBM XT.

    Hello

    Windows Vista does not include a 16-bit subsystem. So, you will not be able to run 16-bit applications on Windows Vista directly. However, you can install Virtual PC on your
    Vista computer and then you can install Windows XP on your virtual PC to run 16-bit applications.

    You can download Virtual PC for Vista from the link below:

    How can I start/re-start Windows professional XP in safe MODE? Aid filw I get only instructed on XP Home Edition and the buttons and it tells you to follow the guests do not appear in the professional edition. I need the instructions for Pro.  Can someone help me with this?

    You can start either home or Pro in SafeMode by this technique...

    Keep F8 hitting twice a second immediately after you have switched on the PC. You should get a boot menu where safe mode is selectable using the up/down arrow keys.

    Or, use the msconfig utility. When you do it this way, Windows starts in SafeMode permanently until you reverse the changes in msconfig...

    Hi!, Ahkran:

    Happy new year and welcome to the Forum!

    (1) you need to download the library library 764, BESSEL V1.2, HP50G, in the HOME directory.

    Now, you need to install and stay permanently in memory, in any port (0, 1 or 2). Best if the option port 2 (Flash)...

    Now, reset the HP50G, with YOU and key F3 (C)...

    Find the library in Port 2, with orange right shift key and key LIB (2), with name BESSE. If necessary, use the NXT (L) key...

    Now press the function key (F1... F6), just below the word BESSE, in your HP50G.

    You have to see...

    and with NXT - key...

    Carefully read the instructions for use library 764, the .pdf file, the author.

  • Lean how to run the stop code when the highest level VI ends

    Hi people.

    I am a newbie of LV with 30 years of experience in embedded SW engineering.  I searched for how to run the stop code when a VI of highest level ends.  I found many examples, but they are horribly complicated.  A little birdie told me that such a model of simple design should not be so compilicated.

    My application is an application of high tension control to disable all HV checkpoints when the SW ends.  My VI code is running in a while loop with a stop button that leads out of the loop.  I can easily accomplish my requirement by programming with a sequence of plate that runs after the end of the main loop.  The technique of flat sequence does not work when the user clicks the Cancel button in the toolbar of façade, more than that market when the user clicks the close button of the application (X button) when you run the exe application.

    Can someone tell me please a simple technique, the code example that can show me a lean and elegant way to accomplish my task?  It doesn't have to be an obvious solution (for example a stop induced watchdog seems simple enough).

    Thank you - John Speth
