Help Why WIndows XP can not run MS-Dos application. I want to run NASM assembler but its not working.?

It can run MS-DOS programs, but it might not run them well, especially an assembler program because the program is designed to run commands on the basic level to interact with command.com (MS-DOS), but XP doesn't actually have a command.com.  It has the NT kernel.  All it does it try to interpret the MS-DOS commands.  You may not get good results no matter what you try.

Grab the updates for xp home ( ie xp service packs ) SP 1 and defintly 2 includes some support for large hard drive support. The main factor in getting large hard drive support working ( will be support for it in the bios ) namely 48-bit LBA ( Large Block Addressing ). Restart the machine and make sure that this is enabled in the bios, if you dont have it in your bios you will most likely have to do a bios update and then enable it.\n\nLook here :\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B303013\n\nhttp://www.largeharddrivesupport.windowsreinstall.com/winxp.htm\n\nHopefully this helps :)

Answer :\n\nYES YES U CAN...\nsee\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/upgrading/sysreqs.mspx\n\nits said "64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features"...\n\nAND\nhttp://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail~dpno~416844~name~Windows+XP+Home+Edition+with+Service+Pack+2+-+Upgrade+Package~mfg~N09-00985+++++++++++.asp\n\nfor the "Service Pack 2"\n\nMy Recommendation :\n\nDON'T DO THAT... buy some RAM (at least 256).... just for the sake of XP.

In traditional Dos based systems it is a simple matter of including relevant assembly code in C language. May not be so easy if you are in applicaton mode on other operating systems. Not very difficult, need to know assembly language if you want to directly manipulate, other you can use operating system routines to access it (if your program resides within the kernel).

Do you have a disk in your "A" drive?\nIf it doesn't find any IO.SYS of MSDOS.SYS files to continue, it usually displays an error message.

That's going to be pretty tough.  ME is still tied to DOS.  XP doesn't use it at all and that is part of the reason it's fast.  If you want to speed up your machine, install more memory or install XP.

..maybe you downloaded the wrong version for your platform, that sounds a little weird. if you extracted it correctly, you should be able to run the .exe or .msi installation setup. Refer to the people you d/l the game from at a last resort.

MS-DOS was an early MicroSoft operating system used before Windows came along.  Limited grapics, mainly manual commands.\n\nThe Command Line is a DOS Emulator used in the Windows Operating System.  Many of the commands are the same, but some are not.

Must not be running windows xp...auto install...  Try inserting the CD and going to the "my computer" then the "cd" and look for an install file and/or auto run file...  good luck

Take care that undelete programs made for DOS a few years ago won't work with Win XP or NTFS partitions... So if you're thinking of undeleting on a new computer, your chances are slim without a professional tool :-(

Windows is picky about being the first installed OS on a drive, so persuading two versions of Windows to run together is not easy. Try:\n\n1) Examining the compatibility settings in XP - it can offer to appear to be more like Windows 9x to certain programs\n\n2) Running the games in DOSbox ( http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ ) - if they need Win98 to get at DOS mode - though the default setup may emulate too slow a PC\n\n3) HyperOS : http://www.hyperossystems.co.uk/\n\n4) QEmu: http://qemu.org/ (maybe too technical for most users)

Go to the MS site and run an eval to see if your sysytem will work.\nSite also has instructions for the upgrade actions.
