Running old DOS programs on WINXP

[gugutz]

Hi.

My father has a company, and unfortunately, the system they use to make their things, and depends on it, run on DOS.

so i have to install windows 98 se everytime on their computer, and, as usually is on windows 98se, about 1 format per month.

so i was analyzing, and their sistem need some files to be loaded on autoexec.bat and config.sys.

and winxp has this files, but i tried to make the system work under winxp and i got nothing.

so i had the idead, that if someone knows how can i solve this problem, it would be here, at msfn.

anyone knows if there´s a way to make their DOS system program run under winxp, so they can have a more stable OS???

thanks.

You could always try running the applications in DOSbox as well, as that works very well for running DOS-based apps in Windows XP and Server 2003:
