Running an old DOS app in XP

[MikeHunt79]

Are there any special programs I need? I'm trying to get Dolphin Cad Cam to work, but I'm getting a few errors:

EMM memory manager not present-cannot load
Missing Graphics Driver, Cannot continue

I managed to get this to run fine under windows 95, but XP is having none of it.

Have you tried running it on compatibility mode, you right click the exe, properties then the compat tab?

Are you using XP 32-bit? My DOS programs run just fine on XP-32. Maybe if you get desperate you could try something like DOSBox or FreeDOS.

Yep, tried all that... Still get the errors.

Yep, 32bit XP pro. I don't mind running it in an emulator tho... I was originally running this program on a PII. I'll give those proggies a go.

EDIT: Just tried DOSBox - worked a treat. Thanks!
