I forgot two old tricks

Win 7 64bit can not run 16bit programs. MDLC.exe it self it a 16bit DOS command line interface. MK_MDLC.exe is a nice 32bit interface. MK_MDLC interface will run fine but soon as you try to use any of the options it will show the "mdlc.exe cannot start or run on a 64 bit system."

thanks

Sorry but win7 is 32bit version. A good friend mine (system engineer) says it should run well using the virtual box, runing other windows 32bit version into ur win 64bits version. But i wonder to my self if mdlc tool was made really for 32bits or 16bits. So in such case , i really dont know if it should work also.

By the way , did u try to make a partition and install the 32bit version?

Thanks Mario. No I haven't tried a dual boot, too much trouble just to get the odd program working!

cheers,

Too bad such a useful utility can't be updated or modified some way to work on windows 7 64bit systems. Kind of leaves us with that system out in the cold. Real shame.

Has no one done any work with any of the emulators/virtual box/DOS boxes?

Like i´ve suggested, we must install virtualbox or other program Virtual machine (where previously we have to assign a x memory in the HD) then install into such space a windows (any) 32bits and then run mdlc with virtual box.


Second choice , and surely it will work, to make a partition in the HD and install any windows 32 bits.


I cant make the try , cause I said before , my windows is 32 bits.


If you run Mk-mdlc into virtual box without instal a windows 32bit, surely it will not work!


Good luck friends, after all some day , i´ll have the same problem.
