On Win 8 or 10 (on 64 bit Windows) you need the 64 bit DosBox. I think it's described elsewhere in this Forum, but you MOUNT a DosBox Drive C as an alias for (say) C:\Spec160. So then, since Spec (and Val) insist of finding data on C:\trkmast folder, you would need to place TrackMaser files in C:\spec160\trkmast folder (so that in DosBox, that looks like C:\trkmast And - if you use RDSS, you can export TrackMaster data files to that folder so Spec/Val can use them (that's how we proved to Doc that RDSS in Val mode created identical readouts).

Lol - I just read my previous post from 2019 above. Sorry, I literally said about the same thing again
So, either post will do. Anyway, that's all I got. Good luck! Ted

If the software runs in a 32 bit environment, can't you set a virtual machine and install either windows xp or 7 and run it in that? Once you set it up you do not have to mount and dismount drives each time you want to use it.

Yes indeed you can do that too. Install VirtualBox, VMWare, MS Hyper-V, etc. Then obtain and install an older Windows version (XP, Win7), then install Speculator/Validator, whatever.
Or, install DosBox on an existing Win10 with an existing Speculator/Validator, set up a batch file to config and run it. Several options. Ted

I have Dosbox but when I look for 64 bit dosbox all I can find is 32 bit.
The rest is over my head... Chuck |
