If Help and Support is on your Start Menu, what happens when you click it? If you get an error message, what is the complete text? I'd like to be able to run an old DOS program. Thanks for any suggestions. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

To configure settings, such as the screen size or the amount of high memory available to programs how I miss these good old DOS times , you have to edit the dosbox.
There are a couple of frontends that simplify the configuration. When I installed WordPerfect, I began to remember how system administration was in those days. The DOS era ended only about 20 years ago, but this environment seems unbelievably primitive compared to today's information technology. Considering that the development in IT is growing exponentially, it is likely that the next five years or so, will bring comparable innovations to those of the last 20 years.
If this is true, Windows 7 will soon be a very primitive OS. But I am sure there will be Windows 7 emulators running somewhere in the cloud or on your watch-sized mobile phone.

Microsoft has updated its new console for basically all command lines and shells. The most important innovations in the In this post, we will take a look at the new features of Microsoft's terminal emulator Windows Terminal v1.
WuInstall is a lightweight but powerful command-line tool for managing Windows updates. With WuInstall, you can install Windows updates Windows Terminal, announced at the build conference in May, is now available as a preview in the Microsoft Store WuInstall provides command-line and scriptable access to Windows Update.
Quickly push single patches, download drivers, deploy upgrades, and compare VisualCron is not an application or tool I have used before. The software aims to be a one-stop shop The Linux subsystem introduced in Windows 10 brought some innovations in Windows 10 Also new is that WuInstall is a command-line tool that gives you back control when to install Windows updates.
It thereby offers you That's why With the help of Group Policy, the schtasks command, and PowerShell, you can run scheduled tasks on multiple computers In my last post, I demonstrated how you can use the Windows 10 Bash for your system administration tasks In my previous article, I introduced Bash for Windows Since then, I have been playing with Bash on Sometimes, you have to restart File Explorer in Windows to ensure that changed user interface settings take effect immediately ABC-Update is a free command-line tool that allows you to install Windows updates.
It is easy to use and SIR I installed turbo c in windows 7,but icould not type open brace closing brace. That's odd because it seems you have a US keyboard layout. This should change your keyboard setting to US layout.
IM sorry for my bad English! It's easy to setup, free, and really handy! We need the caps lock and num lock to be set differently in different DOS screens. With the old DOS and W98 machines I simply peeked and poked memory to determine the status and set the caps and num lock.
Those peeks and pokes definitely don't work on W7! I simply call a batch file from the DOS program which runs "capslock on" or "capslock off" in the batch file. Same with numlock. Running this program is a lot slower than the pokes, but it works for us. We leave the DOS program open all the time on the W7 desktop in the upper left corner. It turns out that W7 puts other icons at the upper left corner so they're always covered up by our DOS program. W7 likes to rearrange icons after you move them, from time to time.
It lets you save your icon arrangement and restore it when the system boots. It lets us put the icons anywhere we need them, and they return to the correct position after the system restarts. Before you start changing stuff it's a really good idea to know exactly what's on the machine. It gives a much clearer picture of what's on a hard drive, local or remote, than My Computer or Windows Explorer. If you've never used XTREE it will take a little while for your fingers to learn what they have to do to get you where you want, but once your fingers learn it it's incredibly fast.
In W7 and W8 they added some capabilities to the netsh network shell command that really helps diagnose why WiFi connections aren't working well. When the command box opens, at the prompt type:. It will give you a list of all the WiFi networks that can be seen. The important thing is to see what Channel your WiFi is on, and what all the other WiFi routers are on. In the example above you can see that all the networks are on Channel In this case it doesn't matter much because the signal is so bad on the second two networks listed there are two more when I scroll down , but having two or more WiFi routers set to the same channel is a recipe for crummy WiFi for everybody.
If you have a router that does both 2. Make sure neither one is on the same channel as a nearby router, unless maybe if the signal strength from the other routers is really low.
The fix is to go into your router and change the channel, or both channels if you have a 5G router with 2 SSIDs. When you open the free app after downloading it, touch View and choose AP list from the drop down. It gives you all the WiFi routers it can see, signal strength and the Channel number.
The links I provided for the various utilities on this page are safe as far as I can tell. BUT, if the utility is free you'll probably find it on many other sites on the Internet. The problem with almost all of those sites that let you download free software is that they "wrap" the software in their own installer , which is there to put all kinds of other questionable software on your PC along with the free software you want.
CNET is probably the safest place to download free programs because they give you the option to use a Direct Download Link if you know to do that , or use their Installer which will probably screw up your computer. Even SourceForge, the place that says it's "Trusted for Open Source," wraps their downloads in an installer:.
They do tell you a second time that you're going to be using an installer when I tried to download Filezilla.
