Please refer the following to use the option. 1. Right-click the Command prompt icon. 2. Select “Run as Administrator”. 3. Then type your admin account name and password. Otherwise, you may use XP Mode to run your DOS application or try the Compatibility Mode. Please refer the following steps to use Compatibility Mode. 1. Right click on the link of the program that you want to fix. 2. Click on Properties. 3. Click on the Compatibility tab. 4. Click on Run this program in compatibility mode and select one of these: Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows NT 4 Windows 2000 Windows XP SP3 Windows Vista 5. Under Display settings, click to select the mode that you think that is necessary for the program to work correctly: Run in 256 colors. Run in 640 X 480 screen resolution. 6. Disable visual themes. 7. Click Apply, and then click OK. 8. Double click on the program. Marked as answer by Ar

In the Windows environment I bring up a DOS prompt, http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthread.php?68347-RESOLVED-Problems-printing-from-DOS-programs run the program, and then try to print. I get the following error message: Write fault error writing to device PRN Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail? Is there a way around this? Thanks Reply With Quote December 16th, 1999,05:28 AM #2 Ate Rowaan Guest You can try this: Right-click on the Dos-prompt shortcut, choose properties, Program. Make the 1st line C:\Windows\Command.com /K set prn=lpt3 Your program looks for PRN and in this way I try to pipe the command to the printer port. Hope it helps.
