Many DOS programs don't work with MS NTVDM. It is in typical microsoft fashion a bare minimum implementation. Just enough to not anger business users too much. It seems even ReactOS' NTVDM implementation has better compatibility with DOS programs. I think it implements some BIOS interfaces that MS' implementation doesn't. However DOSBox(-X) is light years ahead in compatibility even though it's not some kind of hypervisor like NTVDM. So definitely a great thing for some people that it runs in XP. -- WWW: https://metalpunks.info GPG: C90CAB7122AC1231
