Just discovered I can't run it under 64-bit Window 7. So, in my search for a solution (before installing 32-bit Windows 7), I found DOSBox as a possible solution. Does anyone have MYM running successfully in a DOSBox/Win7 environment? If so, what should I know about getting it (MYM, DOSbox or Win7) setup correctly so I can run MYM successfully?

Thanks

Your best bet is to use a virtualizer solution. Don't use DOSBox for "serious" applications.

Do you really need to use this software, there are plenty of windows alternatives

He probably has some old records he has to look through or something. 🤣 But yeah, DosBox isn't really the best solution for running non-gaming applications. Most non-gaming applications depend less on the things DosBox itself covers (like video and sound support) and more on the things it doesn't cover (like accurate SHARE.EXE emulation, pause/break emulation, and other stuff like that).

This program has come up several times on these forums before.

The Ctrl+Break thing is easy. You just boot a disk image of DOS up. It should be included in DOSbox though because some games (eg. LucasArts ones) use it.
