Solve : Run dos program in XP?

Answer»

I know very little about DOS. I have an OLD program I would like to run through Windows XP. I copied it on my laptop and set up a batch file. It starts about 1 TIME in 20 attempts. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?Try to find "DosBox", and INSTALL it on your computer.
You can find this from the INTERNET and it's about 1MB.
Let's say that the program you want to run is located
at c:\ eg. c:\something.com
Then you'll have to run dosbox.
You'll see this...

z:\>_

and you'll have to type the following:

z:\>mount c: c:\
Drive C is mounted as local directory c:\
z:\>c:\
c:\>something

and your program should start running.
