XP does not use or process autoexec.bat. And does not allow real mode
TSR programs such as that program probably wants. You can *try* putting
the lines in Windows\system32\autoexec,nt to be loaded when you invoke
the program; but I would not be optimistic. XP just will not run some
of these old legacy programs; they were allowed loopholes in Windows9x,
that resulted in instability
