It is the same page, it should have a protection against double-post, something probably went wrong.

This one is to "www.reactos.org", the other one is to "reactos.org"

In the original thread, a guy said that you could get 16-bit DOS applications to run on 64-bit Windows systems by copying ntvdm.exe from C:\Windows\System32 on ReactOS to the corresponding directory in Windows.

Anyway, I tried this on Windows 7 x64 and I am still not able to run DOS executables directly (that is, without resorting to DOSBox etc).

Here's the sub-thread discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11118427

Any ideas what could be wrong?
