ETrunker & WinXP

[n6brr]

My old laptop was stolen and I had ETrunker working great on it using DOS, but my new Dell laptop runs XP and I don't know of anyway to boot this to DOS. I heard there was a method or some other software that could be loaded to enable the laptop to run ETrunker. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.

A DOS emulator like "DOS Box" will work just fine. Or, you could open a command prompt in dos and attempt to execute the *.exe file from DOS.

DOS Box is free from source forge.

I've never heard of Etrunker running well under Windows. To boot the computer into DOS, use a boot floppy or bootable USB jump drive.

I don't have my scanner setup to tap but, I can run Etracker.

If you mean etrunker, yes it runs in Windows but the decode rate is very low and is not usable.
