Solve : NTVDM issues running DOS pgm under XP?

Answer»

I am trying to run a DOS program under XP. I am already successfully running the program on my DESKTOP computer but want to run on my laptop.

I ADDED to the path under Environmental VARIABLES setting it the same as the desk top comp. I could start DOS/Command on the laptop OK.

I added a couple of parameters to Config.NT Dos started fine on the laptop.

Changed the buffer size and number of buffers to the same as the desktop computer. This is in Properties of the DOS/NTVDM.exe . When I start DOS on the laptop it goes directly to NTVDM and sits there with a blank screen. Only way out is Alt/Ctrl/Del going to Task Manager and ending NTDVM.

Am I missing something. The laptop is a Toshiba.

Any HELP would be great. Thanks

I was unable to find buffer size or number of buffers on any of the property sheets for the DOS/NTVDM.

Care to MENTION what parameters?

In general, unless your application has specific requirements, it's best to leave the properties for both CMD and COMMAND prompt at their default values.
