Im having problems installing or running the Miracle DOS version under Windows 9x, 2000, XP or some later Windows version. Is it a problem with a bad disk or the way the software interacts with the Windows version Im running?
It could be either, but there is an easy way to diagnose problems with installing and running the Miracle DOS version under Windows. It just involves booting to the DOS prompt and running the Miracle in DOS, since the Miracle software was designed for DOS. In Windows 3.1 or 95, you can exit the Windows environment entirely by just exiting to the DOS Prompt (note: this is not the same as running the DOS Prompt in a window under Windows). In later versions of Windows 9x (including ME), you can press F8 on your keyboard as your system boots up. This will bring up the boot menu, one of whose options is “Boot to command prompt”. Choose this option to cause the system to boot to the DOS prompt. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the best option is to “create an MS-DOS startup disk” and boot from it. In these cases, you can find directions for doing this in Windows Help or below.
