Wordperfect 5.1 (for DOS) doesn't work without modification under Vista. How can I get it to work (as well as possible) under Windows Vista?

Run it inside DOSBox. That should solve your problems.
Their emulation is quiet decent, they have solved problems with EMS/DOS4GW/whatever etc.
I think it should run any DOS application pretty much OK.

I would suggest creating a Virual Machine running DOS. You can download Virtual PC for free here. You will need a copy of DOS to do the install.

the "modification" so it work part? – chakrit – 2008-09-16T16:13:35.313
This question and your answer do not belong here, they are unrelated to programming. Also, you should credit that post if you're not the original author, not copy and paste the whole thing. – None – 2008-09-16T16:20:54.423
