Launch msdos.exe with no program name, or double-click it from Windows, to see your options. If this works, great- if not, msdos.exe has a few troubleshooting switches you can use to ignore invalid memory instructions, tweak memory handling, set the DOS version and more. To test it, copy that file to the folder containing your dos executable file, then launch it from a command line, like msdos program.exe If you don't know which you need, just head straight for the i86_x86 folder where you'll find a single msdos.exe file.

The program doesn't emulate hardware like graphics or sound cards, which means it can't be used for running games or some other more complex software. MS-DOS Player for Win32-圆4 is a tiny DOS emulator which enables running simple DOS-only programs under 32 or 64-bit Windows.
