    a dreaded MSDOS type of program


    Hello all,

    I'm back from a long hiatus. Since I've been away, I've learned more about computers, but have a bit of a problem. I'm trying to help a family member who has a small business. They are running an old program that installs from a floppy diskette. They don't have this particular computer hooked up to the internet, so that much is OK.

    I'm trying to help them install this old program on a new computer that has Windows 10 OS. Obviously, Windows 10 is 64-bit and it's not compatible...

    Program runs in MSDOS and claims "this program must run in MSDOS"????

    I think the BIOS in this board (K8V SE motherboard) isn't OK because i get bad BIOS checksum many times, while others it boots normally so i thought i should flash it to make sure it's OK.

    I'm using an USB to boot MSDOS command prompt but what i find really weird is that, when i'm @ the command prompt and i try to use the BIOS update program, it says: "This program must be run in MSDOS" ... HUH ...?

    I tried getting MSDOS 6.22 but ain't getting any success in making it USB bootable.

    Any suggestions?

    MSDOS files

    The fact they are "MSDOS" files is irrelevant. What is important is what program they were created with.

    What is their extension (the part of the file name after the dot at the end)?
