Hi,

The program stops responding when you enter the amount of opening cash. What happened?

Regards,

Bebe

It is common for DOS programs to function incorrectly or not at all on ME/XP due to the fact that DOS is no longer "real" in those OS'es.

I would suggest if using this in a business situation that you don't use ME or XP, and go for something more simple such as 98/SE, 95 or even 3.1 or just plain old DOS. They will provide better stability and contain "real DOS".

On a side note - I use XP here and 4.28 works fine. I'm not sure what could be causing the trouble - some of the others may have more suggestions.

Bebe,

The problem is that you have a printer that will not print from DOS software. This means that you have to use the APRINT program that comes with POS.
