Thank you for your prompt reply. Are these instructions also
beneficial for my error? my error doesnt match any of those error
msgs from the ms help page.
Error message when you install or start an MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows-based
programhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767
16-bit MS-DOS Subsystem error while installing or running a DOS applicationhttp://windowsxp.mvps.org/16bit.htm

Today is the first day of the
rest of your life.

I have a DOS based program that I want to run in XP. Now the problem
is not that it wont start, or run in XP. It will, I have in fact seen
it. I formatted and installed 4 new computers with XP Pro. I
installed the DOS program onto the computer. On EVERY one of the
computers, when I open the program it gives me an error "system cannot
open com1 requested by the application" (some say com2, etc) My
current COM port is not 1, but when I try to change it to COM1 and
open the program, the program now says "system cannot open com2
requested by the application". Does anyone have any suggestions? I
cannot find any config file where it would be requesting any specific
COM port, but this might be a function or error with XP.
Thank you in advance,
Scott
