Post by: wond3rboy on July 02, 2011, 01:10:23 PM
Hi, i want to do some 8086 assembly programs but the problem is that i cannot do that because MASM(x86) not being supported for windows 7 64 bit. Is there any way to get around that?
Thanks.

PS: I have already tried DOSBox, it didnt work for me.

You needs something like a virtual machine that will allow you to install XP or earlier. Microsoft VirtualPC may be able to do the job for you.

What kind of problems did you have with DOSBox? For me it does a great job, as it's pretty lightweight and sharing files between your DOS VM and Windows is straightforward.

Otherwise, I recommend installing Windows XP or Windows ME inside VirtualBox.
