Hi all, I’ve installed DosBox and a bat file for Dialist Companion on my Windows 7 laptop computer. Everything works OK until it runs “Dialcomp.exe”. It comes up with an error:
X:\>Dialcomp.exe This program cannot be run in DOS mode. X:\>_ Anyone any idea why it’s not working? Thanks, Roderick Wall.

I recently got a computer with Windows 7 Home Premium and have been trying to get the Dialist’s Companion (DC) working. It will definitely work with DOSBox, which is free. It is possible to create a desk top icon to get DC to initiate in a single step. The first thing to do is load DOSBox and create a shortcut on the desk top. For some reason it was not possible, for me anyway, to create a short cut to ``Dialist.exe``. What I did was create a batch file I called ``dialist.bat`` as follows: mount x c:\sundials\nass\dc x: dialist.exe The first line takes you to the directory where the DC files are located. This can be wherever you wish your DC files to reside. I saved this file in the DC directory. The next thing is to place a copy of this file on the desk top, close to the DOSBox icon for convenience. Do not create a short cut to the batch file as this will not work. To start DC just left click and hold on the ``dialist.bat`` icon and drag it on top of the DOSBox icon until you see “Open with DOSBox DOS Emulator” and then release the left mouse button. DC will start.
