DOS programs and Win2k

Hi,
I have a DOS program that works fine in Win98SE (either in a window or full
screen). I recently upgraded to Win2k and, while the application works most
of the time it fails ocassionally (during disk writes ??) with the following
error window:
*************************
16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe
An application has attempted to directly access the hard disk, which cannot
be supported. This may cause the application to function incorrectly. Cheese
'Close' to terminate the application
*************************
Can anyone suggest a fix? By the way, I start the program from an MSDOS
batch (".bat")file.
I have a couple of related questions. I can get the program to work if I
boot up in MSDOS mode. However, I do not have printer support. How do I
configure a printer in standalone MSDOS mode as well as in an MSDOS ("cmd")
window in Win2k mode.
TIA.
.
