well it looks like unless I get something with hardware
vertualisation which is rightt now unlikely that I won't be playing
dos anything.
Well I do have a older box hanging round I guess but to be honest I
have no place for a ddicated unit right now.

Hi Shaun,
Yes, but in practice it doesn't quite work out that way. I have tried
running some older Dos games and applications on a 32-bit version of
Windows 7, and they didn't run correctly and were prone to crash. As a
result the last version of Windows where I could run a lot of Dos
stuff error free happens to be XP.
For example, take Wrestling League Manager. Its an older Dos game for
Dos written in the mid 90's. When I run it on Windows 7 I can play it
a while and it will lock up and need to be kill din task manager. If I
go run it in an XP virtual machine it runs error free. Obviously,
there is something about Windows 7 and older Dos apps that causes them
to lockup and crash since it happens quite frequently on Windows 7.
