I have two older (originally DOS) programs which I need. They are database type programs. I was able to zip them from the original programs, install and use them in Windows XP. I have been unable to find a way to carry them over into vista home premium (64 bit). Is there a way to do this successfully?

They say that the DOS Programs don't open up full screen on Vista. This came from the gaming dept. They would rather go with "Virtualizing" instead. There are programs: Virtual PC, VMware,DOS box. (There is VMware Fusion for Mac) VirtualBox works well on Vista... VM Work Station they say is good.
