First, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR:\n\nPLEASE, right-click on this, choose 'Select All', and then right-click and selct 'Copy'.  Then Open Wordpad, or whatever you wish, and print THE WHOLE THANG ... \n\nThis 1st section is from XP Help, keyword search 'boot'\n\nTo create an MS-DOS startup disk\nThe MS-DOS startup disk you create will allow you to boot into MS-DOS.\n\nInsert a floppy disk into your computer's floppy drive. \nOpen My Computer, and then click the floppy disk drive to select it. \nOn the File menu, point to the name of the floppy drive, and then click Format. \nUnder Format options, click Create an MS-DOS startup disk. \nClick Start. \n Important\n\nCreating an MS-DOS startup disk erases all information on the floppy disk. \n Notes\n\nTo open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer. \nThe MS-DOS startup disk only allows the system to boot into an MS-DOS prompt. The disk contains no additional tools. \n\n\nOnce you get to this point, you have finished the boot-disk creation process as outlined in XP Help.  Shut down the PC and make sure that in your boot sequence,  that A: precedes C:.  If you are not sure how this done, then follow the 'Steps for Changing BIOS Boot Sequence" below, otherwise skip to the 'Formatting a Hard-Disk' section :\n\nSteps for changing BIOS boot sequence :\n1. Shut down the computer.\n2. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and removable media of \n   any kind.\n3. Upon restart, At the bottom-left of the screen, you\n   should see a message simular to : \n   PRESS <THIS KEY> TO ENTER SETUP\n4. Press 'this key', whatever 'THIS KEY' may be.  On some  \n   machines it is DEL or DELETE.  On others it may be F2 \n   or even F10 or F11.\n5. Once you are into the BIOS SETUP MODE, go to the BOOT   \n   section and change the Boot Order to A: then C: or \n   CD-ROM, then A: then C:.  The only difference is the \n   latter one allows you to boot from a CD   Either way, \n   make sure that A: precedes C: in the BOOT SEQUENCE.\n   If you chose CD-ROM, A:, C: please make sure that all\n   CDs, DVDs, etc are removed from all CD/DVD drives.\n6. Choose the 'Exit Saving Changes' option and allow the  \n   system to reboot.  (Make sure that the new 'Boot Disk' \n   is in the A: drive.\n\n\n                  Formatting a Hard-Disk\n \n7.  It should load up some command tools into a RAMDRIVE \n    (a RAMDRIVE is a temporary drive stored in system \n    memory during this current boot session.  \n8.  Go to that drive by typing D: (assuming D: is the  \n    drive  \n    letter of the RAMDRIVE.\n9.  Somewhere either on the A: disk, in the RAMDRIVE is a \n    file called FORMAT.EXE.  To format the C: Drive, with\n    system boot files on it, type FORMAT C: /S /V\n\n10. THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON YOUR MAIN BOOT DRIVE!\n    You WILL NOT have any way of undoing this, unless you\n    have a backup partion on your C: drive.  Even that will \n    only recover the factory installations, not anything \n    that you have installed yourself.\n\n11. If you would like a 100% CLEAN FORMAT with no system   \n    files what-so-ever, then type FORMAT C:\n    instead of the previously  mentioned command.\n\n12.  The process may take several hours, depending on the \n     SIZE of the HDD.\n\n\n    I hope that this helped; is please vote for my \n    answer as best answer, and rate it also ...

This may sound like a foolish question, but: are you sure you're entering a program executable file?  Just be sure you're using the right filename.\n\nAlso, depending on the program, you may need to type the entire file path to it.

Try QuickBasic or QBasic (these two are different but similar). They are a version of Basic from around the early years of computer (QuickBasic is around from early 1990's), where every computer is basically DOS. However, to note, it is impossible to create true DOS environment in Windows XP, the black text boxes in XP is only a program that emulates DOS environment.\n\nI don't know where to grab these two ole jewels, An article in wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBASIC_programming_language ) says that QBasic is shipped together with Windows 95 and Windows 98, although not installed, it is found in /TOOLS/OLDMSDOS or /OTHERS/OLDMSDOS directory in the installation CD.\n\nAlso, you might want to look on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BASIC_dialects it has most BASIC language, ranging from the newer one with GUI to older one with DOS or another OS\n\nNOTE: QBASIC cannot compile a program, while QuickBasic can.

You need to open a "Command" window: click the "Start" button, click "Run", type "cmd" in the "open" box, and click "OK".  This will open a "DOS" window (not really DOS, but NT2000's equivalent).\n\nAt the "colon prompt", type in the name of the program you want to run.\n\nWhen you're done, type "exit" followed by the "Enter" key to close the Command Window.

there is a very nice program called dosbox. it is basicaly a ms-dos emulator. It lets you run ms-dos programs on a newer computer.
