Hello
Program in my firm ( wholesaler ) is about 20 years ( it is was wrote just for my firm and it is OK ). In win 98 everything was good even in working by LAN.
Problems was strted when thundar damaged one of my workingstations with win 98. I bought several computers with worst cpu (one core cpu is quite problem so i can only try pentium 4 HT) but win 98 won't work properly on any of them. I'm trying some solutions with win xp workstation but unfortunately there is hard error ( ntvdm is not full DOS enviromet )
so and I choose that win xp pro workstation with some DOS emulator will be the best option ( my file server is running xp and other workingstations with win 98 are connected to this server by swith ).
The only emulation program that works with my is DOSBOX svn Daum ( dosbox 0.74 on first screen showing error " share.exe missing " ) ( I'dont want to use any hard disk images ) it's work very fast when I run my program locally ( on my server with xp ) and on wi 98 workstatoin but on other xp workstation via LAN is ten times slowly ( NE2000=truth, winpcap installed ).
Observations :
My old program on win98 workstations is working only in memory ( hard disk is swithed down by system after 10 minutes ) and can very fast access to files on server (with xp pro ). Xp pro workstations can't access to files on server fast.
Any suggestions?
Sorry for my english 😀
