msdos 16 bit programs

Would an MSDOS 16-bit application work under Windows Vista? Does NTVDM or whatever it's called exist under this operating system?
If I send you a small 16-bit application would you be willing to try it under Vista and tell me if it works? It's not virused or anything. I would download Vista myself to try it out but unfortunately the Microsoft beta program is not accepting new subscribers.

Hi,
If it worked in XP then it will likely work in Vista as the virtual dos machines are quite similar.

If I send you a small 16-bit application would you be willing to try it under Vista and tell me if it works? It's not virused or anything.

Um, no, and I'm sure it's not, but just the same I think I'll pass.

With a from " mouse@house.spam " I wouldn't trust his application with a ten foot pole, even with a heavy duty condom on it, even with a "pretty please I'll put a cherry on top of it".

16-bit programs should work in the x86 (64-bit) version but not in the x64 version.

I suspect Frank meant "(32-bit)" in the above.

16-Bit DOS programs will run fine as long as they don't need to directly access the I/O or memory above one megabyte. Multi-tasking operating systems (i.e. Vista) are very finicky about programs trying to get access to places where they don't belong.

CPU/keyboard only portions of it, as Vista Netware4.2 IPX print queues are no longer a option under Vista. Searches, sorts and data entry all ran as fast or Faster than they did on this box under XPpro. No special settings used (did set the window font as I always do in each setup)

On Monday, I installed Windows Vista (Business) as a clean install. All was fine. Now that I've finished installing my software (Office 2007, Visual Studio 2005 - with the Vista service pack, SQL Server 2005 SP2, Symantec Antivirus 10.2 client) and had all the updates from Windows Update installed, all the menus that pop-out to the right of the start menu (Favorites, Recent Items, Administrative Tools, and the Shut Down/Restart, etc.. menu) don't work! They appear normally, but nothing is selected as I hover over items and if I click (either button) the menu just disappears. I have tried enabling single-clicking and double-clicking. I have tried switching to the 'Calssic Menu' (which works fine), but when I go back to the Vista menu, it's a no-go. Has anyone had/heard of something similar? Do you have a solution (other than re-installing everything again!).

Hi RJ,
There is no solution for this yet, but there is a way to get it working again easily. Luckily it does not happen often. You just need to either restart the computer or restart explorer. This tutorial will show you how to restart explorer. It will save you time from having to go through a complete restart.

My Dell came with Roxio pre-installed, but there's a problem with a company DVD that is not copy-protected. Now I understand that Roxio and Vista don't work well together.
Is there another tool that's likelier to get this job done?
Thanks

I fully agree with that !
Follow this link http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html and go for : AnyDVD and CloneDVD They are the perfect match to do whatever you want to do with DVDs They cost a bit, they perform great.
