ECN Forum Forums Technical Discussion Re: Computers and the Internet DOS support for Windows XP

Well now.....Long time since I visited this forum....

I have just installed the upgrade for WIN98 to WINXP with a lot of difficulty.

Now that that's said and done, I have to admit that this one is heads and shoulders above WIN98.

As for the DOS sessions, there are a number of sessions that WINXP needs to operate under DOS. Some of the networking programs also require DOS sessions.

Now, in order to get a DOS session whilst still operating with a WINXP screen, go to the START menu and then to RUN. Type in "CMD" and low and behold a DOS session.

Just one of the many bright lights of an old Spark.

There is another function that allows one to run an old programme in an older version of Windows by clicking on the icon, asking for the "properties" and look for the tag.... "compatability". The rest is easy to fololow.....

Rock on kids.......
