   1. put floppy in drive 2. select 'start' then 'run' 3. select browse 4. change to 'a:' drive or 'b:' which ever. 5. select program to run, click 'ok' (maybe select 'ok' twice)

   You can certainly try it, but it is unikely to work. Old dos programs often counted on being able to play with the hardware, which windows will not let them do. If you are very lucky, though...
