Running ms-dos applications

[TheGreemSim]

Got a repair on my computer and since getting it back when I try and run dosapplication like cricsim and microprose football and some other time wasting apps I get this.

Try something like this

DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOS

Yep DOSBox will do the trick. I'm running that exact cricv12 exe for my sim matches and it works without a hitch.

The more likely reason it just stopped working now is that you might be on 64-bit Windows now, and older 16-bit programs do not work on 64-bit OS's.

Of course, DOSbox will work, so will any other virtualization software like VirtualBox, but then you'll have to install DOS / Win98 on them, so best go with DOSbox.
