Hi,

If you want a quick fix just open the program in a small window and the press alt+enter to open it fully.

To fix permanently that issue you only have to do the following steps:

1) Right click on a empty space on the desktop

2) Select New -> Shorcut

3) In the "Location of the item" put: C:\PCA\PCA.BAT and click Next (if you use the NETPEACH.EXE file then you have to do the same but by clicking with the left mouse button on the upper-left corner of the windowed program)

3) Type a name for the shorcut and click Finish

4) Right Click the newly created shorcut and select properties.

5) Select the Options tab and then select Full Screen is Display Options

6) Select the Layout tab and put the following settings:

Screen Buffer Size and Window Size
Width: 80
Height: 25

7) Click "OK"... that should do the trick.

Please make sure you have followed the other steps in order to run Peachtree DOS in Win XP correctly.

Config.NT in C:\Windows\System32 must say Files =100 (instead of 40) and put the two enviromental variables.

Overlay_Heap = 1
PC3ID = CO

If you have any other questions I will be more than happy to help.

Bye,
