I am running Windows 8 64 bit. However, I have a couple of programss I'd like to run that are not supported by the 64 bit environment. One is a DOS program and the other is a Windows 32 bit program with a 16 bit installer.
The DOS program can be taken care of with Dos Box. However, the Window program needs to be installed and run from within Windows.
I have installed VM WARE to run Win Vista 32 bit and Windows XP Pro in a virtual environment. However, I cannot cut and paste ANYTHING onto the Vista desktop or into any folder within the Vista file explorer. Thus I cannot paste the old Windows 32 bit .exe file into Win Vista to install from there. Anything I can do to solve this? Hope this makes sense!
