How to make a DOS dictionary working on Win7 64 bits


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

I've an old Collins French<->English dictionary DOS version. It's only 1600 KB and working fast and smoothly.

So It works just fine on Win7 x32 bits, but NOT on Win7 x64 bits.

Is any how to make it works on Win7 x64 bits?

Regards

16 bit apps don't work on 64 bit OS'es as the CPUs can't actually run 16 bit and 64 bit operations at the same time.

Have a look at dosbox, or install it (OS+app) in a virtual machine (XP mode for Win7, vmware, virtualpc, etc)

Google language tools probably work far better though ;)
