The 'quick and simple' fix relating to modifying the Windows registry looks interesting but I'm a bit confused about how to go about doing it. It has been an ongoing series of additions and modifications and isn't finished yet - and I certainly didn't want to lose it all! This problem under discussion arose after a recent Windows 10 update, as others have already found. I started writing a series of connecting QBASIC programs back in the 90s and have been using VWMare Workstation Player 12 to run them via MS-DOS 6.22 and QBASIC 1.1. I've just joined Ten Forums after finding this discussion on an issue that I've just started experiencing, and many thanks for the suggestions on it. Sounds like collusion to get you to pay for an upgrade to the latest version of VMware Workstation, and if that's the case, then why are you defending them?!? You've got to admit, it's quite shady that the only software Microsoft blocks is enterprise software such as VMware Workstation. Same with Sid Meier's Pirates, Stronghold 2, Airline Tycoon Deluxe, etc. Second of all, don't you think it's just a little suspicious that Microsoft only blocks enterprise software from being run if it's an outdated version? For example, I can run Lords of the Realm 2 (a video game from 1996) just fine, and that isn't blocked. It's not Microsoft's place to tell me I can't even try to run older software myself. If a user wants to try to run older software in Windows, then the user should have the right to do that. Obviously Microsoft can't be held responsible for keeping all older software functional in Windows, however, that doesn't mean Microsoft needs to block older software from running in Windows. In this case, it is up to VMware to fix it, to provide an update.
Thinking this realistically, Microsoft cannot be held responsible for keeping all older software functional in Windows.
