Thanks Tony Johns 'Will not run' is the typical message that will do nothing to get you help, Tony. Try to be a little more explicit. Did you check the logs? Did you try to open a terminal window, and type 'dosemu', or 'xdosemu'? If so, which messages appear on the screen? Did you edit the /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf file for your needs? Did you install the freedos package too (else you will have nothing to run in your dos session). John
