Many of the dos programs are not running on my sys like dave(game), TURBO C compiler etc.why?
many DOS based programs were designed to interact directly with the hardware, especially games to get a performance boost. With Windows 95, Microsoft started discouraging this as it caused instability with the OS. Hence DirectX for gaming. Applications now need to interact with an API to access the hardware. This abstraction layer prevents a application from grabbing the hardware and preventing all other apps from accessing it.





Sorry, find a Windows alternative to those apps or create a DOS 6.x partition on your computer and dual-boot.
