hello peeps
I'm trying to install an old dos programme under xp. Its actually software to program a cnc mill. It was originally designed to run on the cnc's 386/486 processor. The offline software is on a floppy, and installs fine on a win 95 pc. I've tried installing it on my xp laptop using all the compatibility modes/memory modes with no success. I've installed dosbox, and get further with the installation. When the program gets to its 'minimum requirements' screen I get a 'co-processor error' and a 'floating point error' and cannot continue.
Any ideas?
one more thing - the software is dongle protected
cheers
