Good evening I have 3 cds which are relevant to my NSW research the problem I have is? I have a new computer which is Vista and I cant seem to load the cds in to the computer they are MOS DOS. I would appreciate any advice as to how I can load them on to the computer? Maybe reply of list if you feel we are going a bit of the list subjects? I would really appreciate it! Thanks from Jenny in Townsville!

Dear Jenny, It might help if you named the CD's as it is my understanding that a "path" needs to be created, and they are all different. There seems to be a variation between 32 bit and 64 bit operation, if I recall the numbers correctly, so knowing that also may be an advantage to someone trying to help. As for myself, well, I know where the on and off switches are. Vista has been a problem with may of the family history CD's and I am told that Vista is to be discontinued and replaced with another version of XP. Sincerely,Bill > Good evening > I have 3 cds which are relevant to my NSW research the problem I have is? > I have a new computer which is Vista and I cant seem to load the cds in to > the computer they are MOS DOS. > I would appreciate any advice as to how I can load them on to the > computer?

Hi Jenny, You may need to run a virtual dos program like DodBos, http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox_and_Vista Have a google there are lots of suggestions re 'run dos in vista'.
