Default ms-dos video

Hello from Steved

I have an old dos program that works perfectly in winxp but no longer works
because it cannot find the graphic card. Is there a graphic file i can
download that will allow me to run the dos program.

Thankyou.

ps the error I get is
NTVDM encounted a hard error.

Vista's command line is completely different from DOS or NT 5.x series
like XP/2000. If you want to run a DOS program under Vista, the only
solution thus far is an DOS emulator like dosbox. I have not tried it
yet under Vista, but I have under XP and it works well for my old apps.
