Hi, Ok, one more thing you can try is to start a shell (command window) as aministrator (important) and then run the exe from there. If that just fails silently then you probably have the wrong bios file.
I checked your previous msg again, and it sounds like you have not yet managed to boot Freedos? Just get the "USB Lite" image, it does not matter much which version, and then write it to the stick in any of multiple different ways. I use "Etcher" in Linux, "Unetbootin" sounds like pretty much the same thing. Write image, copy the .exe to it, and then boot. /Tomas On Sat, 10 Apr 2021 13:20:34 +0200, Stephanos wrote: > > Dear Tomas > > Thanks for the reminder. > > Yes.
