good afternoon
been trying to open a ms-dos application exe file for going on three weeks now. when i click it a black screen flashes on and off
been working with microsoft with this problem for a while and below is the last reply i got from them , guess they got tired fooling with this old man.well anyway when i r-click the file it has no program tab or close on exit box.
if someone has a idea , i sure would appreciate it.
thanks

OK. The OS is opening a console window, and running the program. The
program runs and completes in a flash, and the window is closed. More
than likely there's a message in that console window that would tell
you something about what went wrong. So, find the *.exe in Windows
Explorer, and right-click it. Click the "Program" tab, and make sure
there's no check-mark in the "Close on exit" box at the bottom of the
box. Now click "OK" to close the box and double-click the exe to start
it
