Terminal server client and old dos programs

Hi,

We have setup a small network, one SBS2003 premium server SP1 and one W2003
SP1 Terminal server as member server.
Setup went fine, using both serves goes fine as well. Clients are using
outlook, office and several other accounting programs in terminal server
sessions.
Until...
The company has an old dos-based program and wants to use it. When a user
sets up a terminal server session and tries to start the dos-application, he
gets the following error "NTVDM encountered a hard error", then he has the
choice "ignore" or "close", when you choose ignore nothing happens, when
choosing close the dosbox closes.

The dos-application is installed on the terminal server and the database
needed (pervasive sql) is also installed on the terminal server.
Starting the dos-application on the terminal server itself (testing
purposes) works fine.

Is there a way to run a dos-apps in a terminal server session ? or is this
problem related to something els ?


Regards,
Jo Lambrecht
