DOS programs are typically 16-bit. What program(s) are you trying to run?

Yep, pretty much the only option is a VM running Windows XP, that way everything is the same. Look up Windows XP Mode for Windows 7. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/install-and...

Other option would be DOSBox. http://www.dosbox.com/

Don't let the appearance that it is for gaming fool you. It can run a lot of DOS based applications.
