Hi

I'm running a dos based utility on Windows XP SP2 and the program works just fine. my problem starts when an XP program pops up (like outlook reminder or microsoft updates) and it automatically throws me out of my Dos program
how can I prevent that from happening

Thanks

Tomer

1. Disable Microsoft updates.
2. Disable Outlook.
3. After the pop-up appears, press Alt+Tab to return to the DOS window.

Give this a try.

Right click program icon (if there's not one, create one).

Properties --> Memory

Check Protected box.
