I can run DOS programs from CMD console and it works well.

When i double clicks DOS programs from Explorer.exe(Windows 7 X64)

Show error message

Can i run DOS programs from Explorer.exe ?

Maybe AppInitDLL key is missing or ther e is another reason why ldntvdm.dll isn't injected in either 32bit or 64bit explorer.exe or there is a problem patching explorer.exe. As always, use DebugView to check if there is an execution error when loading the DOS application (in case ldntvdm.dll is injected into explorer.exe correctly), or if ldntvdm.dll isn't present in explorer.exe at all. To check presence of ldntvdm.dll in target Process, Process Explorer can show you the loaded modules of a process.
