are trying to install a 16 bit Operating System (DOS 6.X) under Windows XP and it just isn't going to happen for a few reasons. First, it can't "see" a FAT 32 or NTFS formatted partition--MUST be installed on FAT12 or FAT16 partition. It is an OPERTING SYSTEM, and not simply an application.
It sounds like either a spyware problem or a compatibility issue. Hopefully, one of the GTG experts can weigh in on this.
Did this program ever run successfully?
