Hello,

I'm trying to execute and old ms-dos program under windows xp. I think dosbox can help me.

When I try to execute the file filter.exe. The main file program. Dosbox says to me:

runtime error 008 at 0000:00B9

I have read that is a memory problem. OK. I changed my config file to free up as memory as possible. mem=63 (maximum) and no sound, no mixer, no midi, no mpu emulation, ...

The program is 291 KB long. When I use the mem command it says:

637 KB of conventional mem
63424 KB of extended mem
63424 KB of expanded mem

I have tryed too the loadfix command as:

loadfix filter

but I have the same problem.

If someone want to try the program I have uploaded to:

http://eia.udg.es/~mrevenga/software/Filter37.rar

Is a freeware program so no problem to the forum. Thanks for your time.

Works fine for me either running it from native WinXP's NTVDM or using DOSBox 0.63

With original windows XP dos emulator I can run the application but when I go inside any option in the menu the screen become full-screen and the keyboard do not work for me inside application. I only can do ctrl+alt to minimize application. The keyboard does not run anymore inside dos terminal. So, the program ca not be run properly for me.

With dosbox I have the error explained before just trying start aplication.

Doesn't work for me in DosBox 0.63 either. According to the DosBox console it's trying to access LPT1 (printer port) which of course it can't since DosBox doesn't emulate it.

Try ykhwong's build of DosBox in my signture. (Click on DosBox CVS Builds).

His build worked for me.

Weird.

I'm using DosBox 0.63 from the DosBox installer released last year.
Uncompressed the archive.
Executed DosBox with defaults.
Executed Filter.EXE

Receive this error message in the DosBox Window: "Runtime error 008 at 0000:009B"
Receive this error message in the DosBox console: "Warning: file creation failed : .\FILTER37\LPT1

Again, it worked fine for me with ykhwong's latest build.

Thanks for your answers.

I'm using last compiled release for windows with installer, 0.63, downloaded today. I haven't found ykhwong's build on cvs. I'm sorry.
