I don't think Vista can run those old DOS apps. You need XP at least I'm pretty sure. Heard the DOS 16 bit had been removed from Vista. I removed Vista from my laptop and put XP back on it, otherwise I'd take a look for sure.

I have DOSBox installed on my Vista laptop and have several old DOS games that run great on it. Haven't tried Fast Attack though...

i tried my Fast Attack on my XP by the help of DOSBOX, it ran very well and the stations are pretty great, in some way it surpassed the great Jane's 688(i).
be sure to give it a try, and don't forget to upgrade it to V1.1.
