Keep old DOS & 16-bit Apps in their place
Pesky legacy DOS or 16-bit Windows apps running under NT can still cause problems, but NT has a way of protecting itself from crashing along with the troublesome program. Go to the program's Properties dialog (click on its icon and press Alt+Enter, or right-click and select Properties). At the bottom of the Properties dialog, click on "Run in Separate Memory Space." If the program crashes now, it affects only its own virtual machine, not the Windows kernel.
