Most of my DOS Apps do not run on XP, I known that there is a program to work around that What is it or how can I do This
 
Many suggestions here, from the XP Compatability Wizard to DOSBOX: thread779-760343
 
Try Start/all programs/accessories/then you will see the command prompt c:\ install under here as a dos program. Then go to explore and find the folder and then the application, create a short cut to open/run it in your desktop close all that go to your desktop and double click on the icon and it should run. Works for most Dos programs But not all you may have to look at your screen display settings in some cases and there are some programs which you may have to give up on.
Cheers
