Dosbox or some other dos emulator is the only way I know of that you can do
this. You can't run eamon in a regular window, its full screen by default,
and vista can't run 16 bit full screen programs, for some unfathomable
reason. There's another way, you can downgrade your video card drivers to
use xp drivers instead, that actually allows the program to run, but the xp
drivers are very unstable on vista, and I still couldn't get the program to
display text, but maybe someone with more knowledge of such things could
play around with it more.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Aemon deluxe
Hi,
Well, if someone finds that answer out i'd like to know that as well. I
have a Vista laptop here, and I have had absolutely no success getting
Eamon Delux going on it. My guess is i need to try and use something like
Dosbox on it to get some of the older games like that to run.
