Real-mode application might have problems... (Figuring out what exactly is supported in Long mode's compatibility mode is a bit of a mission) (Compatibility mode allows running 16/32-bit protected mode applications, but documentation about the support for v86 mode is hard to find..) (Wikipedia state that it is unsupported, but without any references. Dosemu works with some kernel patches, not sure how they work) They can be found here: http://v86-64.sourceforge.net/ Many real-mode applications are supposed to be runnable in protected mode, but this is not always the case in practice.... (and few applications attempt it) This gives the rules for which real-mode application will work unmodified under (16-bit) protected mode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_mode#Real_mode_application_compatibility Gert
