I haven't tried this but it may be worth a shot.

1. Select the DOS application by right clicking on it.

2. Select ‘Properties’.

3. Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab

4. Place a check mark next to ‘run the program in compatibility mode for: ‘option.

5. Click on ok and that should do it.



Check the compatibility using the link below:
