A friend of mine has a Dutch accounting program running under DOS. He's looking for a new PC, preferably with Windows 7 (or Vista). He wants to be sure the application works, so I'm testing it for him.
Everytime I start the application normally (via cmd) I get the error "This system does not support fullscreen mode". However, after ignoring this the application does start and works just fine, but in a very annoyingly small box.
Now I'm trying to get the application to work fullscreen under Windows 7. Having read severall forums, and asking collegues I decided to try DosBox to achieve this. Installation was fine, mounting was fine, after starting the application it does show me the startmenu, however after selecting a menuoption it gives me a message that another application needed for the program to work isn't loaded.
This first led me to believe, that it may be a security issue under Windows 7. I then tried installing it under XP to see if this was correct. However, even under XP after selection a menu-option I still get the errormessage.
I do not understand, why this happens. All files are situated in one folder, why can't it load/find the needed application?
