Hi,

I've just started using Dosbox so that I can get an old Dos program called FAAST3 (an engineering application used for calculating pressures and flows in water pipe networks) to run on my new computer. I got FAAST to run in Dosbox but once it had finished, my mouse no longer worked, resulting in me having to press the reset button on my computer and restart the machine.

Is there any way around this? I don't want to have to shut down my machine & restart it every time I need to do something in FAAST3. One job can mean 70 or more runs of the software before a solution is finalised.

Thanks in advance for any help received.

Cheers,
DarrenNB

First of all note this DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION I'd tried the search function & no luck, that's why I registered so I could submit the post.

Try this instead http://sourceforge.net/projects/vdos/

My security software blocked this & said it's a dangerous page.

Anyone else?
