RF Toolbox from Teledyne

fred · 2018-03-24T12:34:24+00:00

This is an old DOS program that is still very handy with lots of RF functions. It workd fine from the command prompt in Win7 32 bit, but I can't get it to play inside DOSbox on Win 10 64 bit. [Also can't get it to play inside DOSbox on Win7 32 bit.] Has anybody on here been down this route and made it work on Win 10 64 bit, either with tweaks to RF Toolbox or DOXbox settings? I feel the isssue is a video display issue as Toolbox first runs a program called Speedscreen, then Toolbox prog, then remove Speedscreen. You can find it here and in several places: Thanks for any ideas. fred

If you need to install a VM with Win7 32bit to use a DOS program, it's easier (and take a lot less disk space) to install a VM with directly MSDOS.

Jeff and others, Thanks for the great ideas. I'm confident I'll now get it to play, either by:

Mount to H: instead of C:
Go back to orig config file (actually the Win10, 64bit machine is orig config, except for mount.)
Replace DOSbox with DOSbox SVN Daum (I note there is no uninstall in control panel, uninstall a prog, but there is an uninstall.exe in C:\.programfiles(86)\Dosbox. I hope it does a decent job, without leftovers)

I'm taking a break while I backup the PC and try these ideas.

Thanks all.

Yep. I think it is the 16 bit programs, and not just DOS. My old WinSmith 2.0 will not run in win7. I run the XP VM to make it work.
