Which type of c program can be run on windows 7?
I guess you wanted to ask: why don't DOS-programs (like TurboC and programs generated by TurboC) run on Windows 7? Answer: it is by design; unlike older versions, Windows 7 doesn't have a built-in DOS-emulator. Download and use DosBox.
How can I get Dos Box and DOS programs to run on a windows 7 64 bit Os?
Windows 7 (32 bit versions) have an emulation of DOS (cmd) that seems much more compatible than running DOS apps in Window XP. You can routinely run WordStar, PC Tools apps, many public domain utilities and various DOS accounting programs in Home, Professional and Ultimate versions of Windows 7. Remember though, they must be 32 bit versions. Windows 7 Professional has an XP compatibility window you can setup. Theoretically, in that mode under the 64-bit version of Windows 7 you might be able to run various DOS apps.
Can windows 98 still be put in windows 7?
I think your best bet is to partition your hard drive and run two operating systems. I think the platform of both operating systems are different. some older programs use MS-DOS which can run in windows 98 but wont run in XP and higher versions of windows. there are also emulator programs you can use to run older programs. As for running 98 in a windows 7 environment I don't believe that is possible.
What Windows version had the worst 16-bit support?
I doubt there's any way to really quantify "worst." Windows NT running on non-Intel architectures could only run certain MS-DOS programs under emulation, and 64-bit versions Windows XP/Vista/7 cannot run 16-bit applications at all. 32-bit versions of Windows Vista and 7 can run 16-bit Windows applications, but MS-DOS programs are limited to text mode.

Will School Tycoon run on Windows 7?

Will DOS programs run on modern laptops?
Yes, although there are various technical limitations that may come into play. For instance, not all DOS applications will run properly in a Command Prompt on Windows. The Command Prompt in Windows Vista and Windows 7, for instance, can only run text-mode DOS applications. 64-bit versions cannot run DOS applications at all. The best workaround is to use DOSBox, a DOS emulator, to run any applications that will not run in the Command Prompt. As for "native" installations, it is still possible to install and run MS-DOS and applications on modern computers, although changes may need to be made in the BIOS to enable hard drive access, and modern sound cards are incompatible with virtually all DOS programs.
How to get into DOS mode in command prompt?
In Windows, to bring up the DOS screen, simply go to the start menu, choose RUN, and enter CMD. You can also access the DOS screen from Windows during startup by hitting F8 during the boot process and choosing COMMAND PROMPT.

Is Doom compatible with Windows 7?
The original Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth and The Ultimate Doom do not run on Windows 7, due to incomplete MS-DOS support, and the total lack of a 16-bit subsystem on 64-bit versions. Doom 95 will run on Windows 7, but suffers from numerous bugs. Doom 3 will run fine on Windows 7.Note that the original DOS versions of these can be played in DOSBox. There are also ports of the Doom engine to Windows that will allow you to use the original data files from the DOS version, with essentially the same gameplay.
