Optex RPU Software

The software will not run on xp or vista you will have to have a computer with a dual boot for xp /vista and a separate dos partition or keep a old lap top running with the old programs which is what i did. otherwise you get a runtime error. same for old silent knight and scantronic as well

Make sure your display is set for 256 colors, that might be the problem

Try running it on a flash stick.

I have an OLD and I mean OLD DOS db that I run on a flash stick...been working fine for several years (I know I'm flirting with death but just don't have the time/energy to rewrite the db yet).

That's a good idea.

DOS 7.1 here:

I just have happened to bookmark VPC the other day:

Dosbox

works with most OS's (including Vista). It's a DOS emulator. I've tried it with the old SENTEX software and it seems to work fine. It takes a bit of "tweaking" because you have to "mount" the software you want to run. My younger son found it while on a search for a way to run some of the old DOS games his dad bought years ago. :-)

I'll try one of these options. Does anyone have the default login/ passcode for this software?
