One thing to check is if you have DOS drivers installed for any required hardware.

If the DOS mode driver isn't installed, the DOS app. will not be able to access the hardware, and will stop or fault.

You can do this globally in Autoexec.bat and config.sys. Or to aviod compatability problems, you can set up a specific DOS configuration for the shortcut to the DOS program using the options on the tabs under properties.

You will still need the files= and buffers= statements in Config.sys. Use a large number for files (about 200).
