[Thinkpad] T43

[Alex Austin]

TameDOS is nothing like Dosbox. Dosbox is a PC emulator. TameDos fixes a few
interrupt things in the VM86 emulation/dos susbystem in Win32. Any program
that relies on a particular filesystem, I wouldn't trust while windows is
running. If it's modifying the filesystem itself, on disk, I'd be afraid of
it stepping on Windows' toes.

Give TameDOS a try - they have a trial version so you can see if it fixes
your problem.
