Of course. Running DOS program under Vi$ta is a really bad idea... By the way, launching fractint from a native FreeDOS boot, you will probably get much more display resolutions available (like 1280x1024, etc...) > 2. Can I boot directly to Freedos from a CD instead of running an emulator like Vmware or Virtual PC under Vista? Yes, definetely you can. More - it is recomended to do that way, as you will not be blocked with unwanted software layers - the program will have a direct access to the hardware. The best way would be to install FreeDOS on some small (few megs...) FAT16 partition, but booting from a livecd is anyway better than running under Windows. --- Mateusz Viste "Fox" http://mateusz.viste.free.fr/dos ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
