>>We still run Foxpro 2.6 DOS applications and they ran well on computers purchased last April (2013) with Windows 7, 32 bit, optional XP mode.

>>We just purchased more computers from the same vendor (Dell) with the "same" operating system. The XP mode is now replaced with Microsoft Virtual PC and we can not get it to run Foxpro 2.6.

I never seen a good Dos-Windows converter yet. I would like to have this auto-converter. Maybe you can put it in UT's download section. I have some FPD applications.
