I was able to run all the demos in the DEMO folder just fine. I was also able
to run a program I created for my company, although it says, "Unrecognized OS!"
LOL. Yeah, well.
I ran the benchmark but it said 0.00 as the result. The PC with Vista on it is
one fast... uh... PC. It's got an Intel Core2 Duo E6600 at 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM
and a 256MB nVidia 7300 graphics card. I'm telling you, this baby is fast!!!!!

Even the DOS programs? using ex.exe?

ex.exe runs fine (dosint.ex says DOS Version: 5.0). The problem with Vista
is that DOS fullscreen mode doesn't work, so a lot of the demos would not
work! Well, there are workarounds, but it's a pain. I'm going to download
DOSBox (DOS emulator) and see if that works, but it's not best case.
You would have to provide DOSBox to your end-users if they wanted to run
fullscreen DOS apps in Vista.
DOSBox is at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1.

wire.ex works with DOSBox... but it's very slow.
The point is, ex.exe runs fine, but not in fullscreen mode without work-
arounds or emulation.

Thanks.
So once again Microsoft pre-declares DOS finally dead and buried,
but doesn't actually have the guts to kill it.

If you use Windows XP video drivers, things work fine (that is, fullscreen
is available). Also, if you use the generic VGA driver, things work fine.
It's only the default Vista video drivers that won't allow fullscreen. Don't
know why. This is from what I've read, not personally experienced. :)
