I don't understand why you say vDos slows down DP, Tim. DP is greased lightning for me running vDos on Win 7 - 64 bit. I don't think I've run any really large reports since starting to work DP on vDos, but it loads virtually instantly - less than a second, and switches from one to another database even faster, if possible, opens pages faster than I can time it ...

DP (and any other 16-bit DOS app) will not run natively under Win-7 64-bit. The 32-bit OS can run 16-bit apps.

To run under 64-bit Windows you have to use a DOS emulator like VDOS. Or you can run a virtual machine (using Virtual PC, VirtualBox, etc.) with a compatible OS installed and run DP inside it. VDOS is simplest but does slow DP down a bit.

Dear ALL
There was just a related question. Sorry to ask what has already been discussed I believe but

1) Can you run Dataperfect under WIN-7 64 bit (it runs under 32 bit of course, I do that)

2) If so, what do you have to do?

Best regards

Jens using Dataperfect since 1989!
