Just installed vDOS. Tried running it (vDOS.exe, double-click in Explorer), got an error message: "vDOS should not run elevated". ?????
Anyone have any experience with this DOS emulator?
I found an answer on the vDOS forum (https://vdos.proboards.com/thread/268/vdos-run-elevated). The latest version checks for elevated permissions and exits if found. Workaround is to add "admin=on" to the config.txt file.

That'll run on a modern (Intel Core 2 Duo, Windoze 7) computer?

A C2D is still "modern"? I thought it's "legacy" these days ...
Anyway, I run bare DOS on a Ryzen 5 without problems. But the simplest approach is to install DosBox.

DosBox can handle those speed issues, that some DOS programs needs.
Also COM: emulation works most of cases.
Oracle VM VirtualBox is a bit heavy for simple things.
I'm currently experimenting with vDOS, as it seems a bit simpler than DOSbox. Will report results soon (I'm writing a key-logging program to test with).
