Re: [Freedos-devel] freedos emulation under 64-bit windows 7

[Jim M. <jmi...@ya...>]

I expect it to be able to do something to make dpmi work.  but all dpmi fails 
under vbox.


vbox said it supported dpmi, but it doesn't.  I get failures from djgpp's 
runtime, and I even installed himem.exe in c:\config.sys


C:\>df
Load error: No DPMI - Get csdpmi*b.zip

C:>

I haven't tested VBox lately with FreeDOS, not sure what you mean
here. You mean you expect it to have its own DPMI (like DOSEMU) or
that no DPMI works due to emulation bugs?? Try using CWSDPMI or
HDPMI32; if that doesn't work, turn off VT-X support for the FreeDOS
guest (slower but more accurate).
