Running XSTABL under Microsoft Vista

MS-Vista and Win-7 does not allow DOS programs, such as XSTABL, to access the hardware directly. If you wish to run under the new Microsoft operationg system, you will have to use a DOS emulator, such as the freely available DOSBox0.73. XSTABL seems to work fine within this emulated environment.

Setup using DOSBox

1. Install XSTABL to the default folder, c:\xstabl.
2. Download and install the DOSBox software (www.dosbox.com)
3. Download and run the executable file "DOSBox-xstabl.exe". This will essentially copy the configuration file to "C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73" and will automatically start XSTABL upon launching DOSBox-073.
4. To start XSTABL in this emulation mode, double-click the DOSBox icon on your desktop. Please note that the XSTABL icon will not function properly.

• NOTE: If you have had problems running XSTABL under the Windows-XP operating system, you may wish to try the DOSBox option.
