Well, when running IE6 you do *not* have all updates installed. Anyway,
this has little to do with your problem.

I still use a unreplaceable DOS based (t.pascal) program.
For some time now, when I try to launch it I suddenly get this message:

DPMI error (4002): memory manager does not support DPMI or VCPI

"Troubleshooting MS-DOS-based programs in Windows XP"
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314106

DOSX command exist in AUTOEXEC.NT file, and LH HIMEM.SYS in
CONFIG.NT file.

That's the problem, most likely. Wrong syntax and "LH HIMEM.SYS" does not
make any sense since "HIMEM.SYS" cannot be run in high memory by design.
Make sure that CONFIG.NT has these lines:

EMM=RAM
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=%SystemRoot%\System32\HIMEM.SYS
....

What might be the problem? What had happened?

Please advice, I do need this prog to function again.

ROTFL! Any WinXP system depending on an old PASCAL DOS Program is just a
bad joke.
