I have an old program that we've been able to get to run in XP by limiting the bootup memory to 512MB. We'd like to have everything but this one program run with the machine's full 4GB installed.

Is there a way to limit the system memory for just one program? I don't see anything under the Compatibility tab that limits memory. Setting to Win 95 doesn't work.

The error returned is "Not enough memory", when the system is not limited.

I've heard about a program called DosBox, which we'll try later, anyone have any experience with this or something similar?
