Now i had purchased new computer Intel Pentium D(Dual core) 3.4 GHZ processor / 512 MB DDR2 RAM / 80 GB HDD & operating system is windows xp professional(orginal pack). When iam transfering the data from old computere, word perfect and accounting software is working fine, but Lotus 123 is not working, when iam executing the 123.exe file system gets freezed(hanged). All important datas are in lotus file, need to use the software immeditley.

1, yes, install it as usual and it should work fine.

2. There should be a small tabl in your printer driver section, where it says 'MS-DOS compatible' or something like it.

Hope this helps

Thanks for your commetn.

1) I had installed the dos applications Lotus 123 alone is not working. Do i need to change any thing in config.sys or autoexec.bat files.

2) Still Printer is not working.

Waiting for your advice.
