I'm attempting to reinstall an old DOS based program on my laptop which is running Windows 2000 Professional. I've done this before and I know it can work, but I've forgotten how. When I attempt to start the program, I get an error message which says "Error--insufficient file handles (16) available. The FILES command in the CONFIG.SYS must be a minimum of 99" It's been years since I can remember being able to alter a config.sys, but I know there's something else in Windows 2000 Pro that I can change to make this old program work. Can anyone refresh my memory?
Get DOSbox. On w2k it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. That's the best you can do. Maybe set up a dual boot with an old OS, or floppy to boot from?
