Dos Programme

I’m using a DOS PROGRAMME through the “command prompt” in the Windows 2000 environment (without shutting down the windows).

When I try to work the same programme on another computer I do the same thing to open the programme but the programme freezes when it is opened. I can’t write in the programme and the only solution is to end the programme (“end now”).

Why does this happens when I change from one computer to other?

What can I do to avoid it?

Thanks

How large is this DOS program? When you run it from your pc, are you simply running it or is it installed? Remember that DOS based programs are very limited to the amount of RAM they can use. 640K is the max w/o any time of memory extensions. What options do you have set for the command prompt? Are you trying to run this program on another Win2k machine or does it have a different OS?
 
- How large is this DOS program?

About 100KB

Simply running it (is just an .exe file, I didn't install it)

- Are you trying to run this program on another Win2k machine or does it have a different OS?

It's the same operating sistem, the two computers have the same setup.

- What options do you have set for the command prompt?

Where can I see that?


Thanks
