I'm trying to get Microsoft Word 5 for DOS working, but I've found some problems...
Using Windows XP, it seems to run fine, but it crashes (NTVDM error) when I'm trying to do a preview before printing.
Using DOSBox, it complains about copy protection.
Any advice?

Ok, I've corrected the error in Win XP: I forgot I put a Trident 9400 driver in Word (back in the time where graphic cards had drivers for DOS apps). So I've replaced it with the standard one and now I can do previews.
Any one knows if there are VESA drivers for DOS applications?

Well, I've seen something like that for WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS at http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/graphicsmode.html , but of course that is probably specific to WP5.1. There may be a similarly-specific driver for Word.
That site also suggests http://www.tamedos.com/ .
Yeah, something like that...
My old Trident had drivers for Autocad, Lotus 123, Symphony, GEM, Ventura, Wordperfect, Word, Windows 3.x and NT, and Quattro Pro... it would be nice to get generic VESA drivers for (at least) Windows 3.x, Word and Wordperfect...
[EDIT:] I've found drivers of S3 864 for Wordperfect, Word and AutoCAD... would it work if I get Word to work inside DOSBox?
