I think you need to go back further (Windows XP) or use something like <a href="https://www.dosbox.com/" rel="ugc">DosBox</a>.

I think setting up a Windows 7 VM just to run DB IV which was a DOS Software would be Overkill. Besides that there are licensing / Product-Key / Activation issues you can run into when running a VM of Windows 7. If you are running an OEM license of Windows 7 (Most PC's that were bought with Windows 7 pre-installed use an OEM License), then if I remember correctly, you are only allowed to run a VM of that same OS on the original PC, you can't run it on another. I also seem to remember differences when using Home, Professional, or Enterprise versions of Windows 7 within a VM.<br><br>Have you tried running DB IV inside a CMD prompt of Windows 10? IF that doesn't work, then as suggested above I'd go for DosBOX, which simulates DOS and runs fine on Windows 10.<br><br>I'd use ProtableApps for that, and DosBOX is under the Games section under Emulators:<br><br><a href="https://portableapps.com/" rel="ugc">https://portableapps.com/</a><br><a href="https://portableapps.com/apps/games/dosbox_portable" rel="ugc">https://portableapps.com/apps/games/dosbox_portable</a><br><br><br>

Attn Rindi<br>Thank you for your informative &nbsp;response<br>Do I need to use 32bit os to try out your suggestions?<br>Thanks<br>Dory<br><br>

<div>
No. DosBox is an emulator for M$DOS &amp; it runs on either 32 or 64bit OS's.

Running dbase4 in a VM

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
