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

[Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx]

Tame is a wonderful accessory built to bridge between Windows and DOS, for
using DOS programs. I have no idea if using Tame would solve your problem
or, as Jordan suggested, merely add a layer of complexity. But the
installation is so simple that I would suggest giving Tame a try. You have
nothing to lose, and if it works, you'll not only solve your problem but
have a better-looking XyWrite.
Another tack: go to to Properties then the Compatibility tab and experiment
with various settings under "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"

I have nothing checked for my Thinkpad X61 under XP SP2.
