newby - it wont work - please help

[seabear]

Win 10 64 running under shell

I have installed vDos and run the demos

I made a new folder within vDos and put my program in there including the .EXE

I CD 'd into that dir and tried to run the program, I get "this program requires windows"

yet when I try to run it in windows with 10s compatibility set back to 95 it will not run

 

can we run 3.11 under vDos ??      How can this one be made to work?

The program is SmartNSticky a label making package that works - I have to sort this out as my last "old " laptop has finally died

You can down load the zip from archives.scovetta.com/pub/prophecybbs.org/CDROM001/056A/SMTSTK11.ZIP

This is a shareware edition and has a primitive add display - this never caused any grief in 20 years of using the software.

Any help gratefully received,    Thanks for reading

vDos doesn’t run Windows programs, so the "this program requires windows".

Have a look at "Otvdm/winevdm: run old Windows software in 64-bit Windows" (http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/otvdm.html).

Jos - you were right, I have been going round in circles for months with this, and now I have it working
