Just tried that, but it's only for XP Pro and 2000; I have XP Home Edition.

A while ago I asked if anyone on the list could
help me get AutoCAD 12 for
DOS.
Several people came through and I now have a
copy. Thanks, everyone!
As expected though, it doesn't work and play nicely with Windows XP. I was
hoping that just running it through a command prompt window and giving that
giving the Win 95 compatibility attribute to the acad.exe file would make it
work. It didn't and I got a strange error message:
Have you tried Virtual PC or any of the other emulators? Most of the stuff
that I haven't been able to run in a Windows DOS box runs okay under DOS on
Virtual PC. The only real exception I've found is "Divide by Zero" and
other cache related problems.
