It can't be run in DOS mode because it relies on Windows-specific APIs. DOS mode is running the program in either DOS, or in a DOS box under Windows. Basically, it is saying that it can't run on DOS because it is not a DOS program.
Windows 2000, XP, and Vista do not have a "DOS mode." To start Windows 95 and 98 in MS-DOS mode, press F8 when the splash screen appears. Then select "Start computer in MS-DOS mode" from the list.
Try to run it in Windows mode.
As it is a DOS game, all you have to do is restart in MS-DOS mode to play it.
Both are same..AnswerQuit MS-DOS (alt+F4) to get back to windows. Then go to Start -> Shutdown -> Restart in DOS mode. The computer will restart DOS but won't start windows. When you want to start windows again, just type win. ANSWER:MS-DOS and DOS are the same program: MicroSoft Disk Operating System. If your computer is in DOS mode, type WIN to start up windows. However, if you are already in Windows, then you are actually in the DOS prompt (also called the command prompt) which is a simulated DOS environment run by Windows. In this case, just type EXIT to return to Windows. If you are trying to get your computer into DOS mode, and you have either Windows 95 or 98, go to Start --> Shutdown, and select the option that says "Restart in MS-DOS mode". If you have any version of windows after 95 or 98, then go to Start --> Run, and type in Command to get into the command prompt.
When a program cannot run in DOS mode it means it's a Windows file. Unless you get a specific program (you'll have to look into it) you can't use any Windows programs.
You can use any mode.. Normally it can use from safe mode and normal mode..
Try to restore Windows with "msconfig" command..
Virtual Real Mode is an enhancement, of protected mode. Protected mode is normally used to run graphical multitasking operating systems such as the various flavors of Windows. There is often a desire to be able to run DOS programs under Windows, but DOS programs need to be run in real mode, not protected mode.Virtual real mode was created to solve this problem. In essence, it emulates real mode from within protected mode, allowing DOS programs to run. A protected mode operating system such as Windows can in fact create multiple virtual real mode machines, each of which appear to the software running them as if they are the only software running on the machine. Each virtual machine gets its own 1 MB address space, an image of the real hardware BIOS routines, everything.Virtual real mode is what is used when you use a DOS box or run a DOS game in Windows 95. When you start a DOS application, Windows 95 creates a virtual DOS machine for it to run under. Virtual real mode was introduced starting with the 386 family of processors.
You have to install windows 98 using the OEM CD from Microsoft (or you can download it as a torrent file). If it is a DOS-window, then with command EXIT, or if you booted in DOS-mode, then use command WIN (or reboot your computer).
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.
If you are using windows, MSDOS shell is integrated by default..
