I need to run an old Dos CAD program in XP
on a Intel core 2 (1.876GHz) computer
I have tried Dosbox but no success

Please helpTo get meaningful HELP, it is essential that you provide some basic information such as the CAD program name and version. Otherwise we're just guessing. (That doesn't put some people off on here, so beware!)

The Programm Iam refering to is
Genes1s Ver 5, South African developed
It has been Upgraded to a Windows vsersion that work well
I have written many lines of MACROS for the dos version
and this can not be CONVERTED to run on the Windows version

When trying to start the dos version
I get MetaWINDOW Initgrafix error
This version Runs well on Windows 98 on
older slower computers

Hope this helphave you tried asking Genes1s Concepts at [emailprotected] or [emailprotected].za ?
I Tried Genes1s, No luck, Thanks .That initgrafix error sounds like a display problem, maybe to do with old VGA colour display incompatibility. It may be your display hardware or driver giving problems.

You can try copying the .exe to the DESKTOP and then after re-boot right click the shortcut and tell it to run in MSDos compatibility mode...

I'm not on an XP machine right now to test but this feature should still be available...
