I have always found XP-Pro able to run DOS programmes perfectly. However,
at work we've just upgraded from Win95 (!) to XP-Pro, and now our DOS-based
electrical safety record-keeping software refuses to run properly. During
data entry the user has to press the <Page Down> key and the application
then terminates with the following error message:
"S11CONT <0> Unrecoverable error 5311: Cannot create VM swap file".
Can anyone throw any light on this and/or suggest a work-around please?
I've tried running the programme in Win95 compatibility mode and I've had a
look at the virtual memory settings, which look OK to me.
Thanks,
David.
