Re: Getting Xy4Dos Up & Running on T61 with XP-Pro

What are the exact contents of your shortcut (under Properties/Program).

Also, try it with an empty startup.int.

I have the Lenovo X61 with the same OS as you. No problem running it.
Couldn't hurt to check your Path to ensure C:\XY4 is in there--not that it
really has to be.
