So you may want to use the Windows search / find / locate feature to find yours. My DOSBox-0.74.conf file is actually located at C:\Users\Dale\AppData\Local\DOSBox\DOSBox-0.74.conf In later versions of Windows this path may be inaccurate. In the path above replace ? with the version number you have of DOSBox, example.Ĭ:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.74\ nf Using the Windows "My Computer" program (or "Computer", or "This PC") locate the file.Ĭ:\Program Files\DOSBox-?\ nf You can automate the start of the Cash Register program when you start the DOSBox software. It would be a swell idea if you made a backup of this file first in case things go horribly wrong. The following instructions involve the modification of a file. If you exit the program when it is run full screen press + then click the on the top, right corner of the window to close DOSBox or from full screen type EXIT and press This stall does not happen when you are using the Cash Register program on a non-64 bit computer without DOSBox.īy holding down and pressing you can toggle between displaying the program in a window or full screen. The stall only happens when the program starts or when you are switching from one program file to another. However during the starting process while going from screen to screen the program will sometimes stall for up to 15 seconds, wait it out. The Cash Register program will now start. Assuming that the Cash Register program is located on a folder named C:\POS type this into the DOSBox window (Press after each command)
Now that you have the Cash Register program on your computer and you are running DOSBox we can get started.įirst you must tell DOSBox where the Cash Register program is located. You will find instructions there on how to download the program and start it up. This program is called DOSBox and can be obtained for free from here. Since DOS software will not run on your computer you will have to run a 32 bit program on your computer that will run DOS software. Also for those folks that absolutely, positively require that my Cash Register program must run in FULL SCREEN (instead of a large window) DOSBox will also do that on 32 bit computers that have a problem with running my program full screen.įirst you must properly download the Cash Register program using these instructions upgrade.htm However by installing DOSBox (another FREE program) you will not only be able to run my Cash Register program but also many other 16 and 32 bit programs that your computer currently cannot.
If your computer is running a 64 bit version of Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, or 10 this POS program will not automatically run on your computer. Note: This program is slowly being ported to a 64 bit version.
