Smurfy,

I used your guide as a road map to load up vmware with win95. I got it working - mostly. It was enough for me to play around with the virtual emulator concept and see that it probably won't get me what I need.

I am using a 16 bit DOS program for my business. The computer I'm using is about 25 years old and if it goes, right now I'm looking at dominos falling that will amount to thousands of dollars in new equipment that will enable my newer computer to conduct downloads from my stores. My XP floppy is a USB, vmware/win95 doesn't recognize it and I need it to load the software program. There are no printers and my wireless brother MFC is probably not going to work with it.

I have a winme computer that's only about 15 years old and hasn't been used in about 7 years, it's still working well and has all of the hardware I need. I'm going to try to uninstall ME and install win95 and the DOS software and use it for my downloads. Since I only use it once or twice a week for 45 mins at a time, I'm hoping it'll buy me another 10 years after which, it won't matter.

Your tutorial and the suggestions that forcenetix was kind enough to suggest enabled me to try out the concept and realize I need a different solution. Thank you both for your time and suggestions, they've been a great help.

Todd
