I am trying to run a program, but all that happens is that I get a dos sytle
black screen flash up for a few seconds, I am using Norton anti
virus/network security on XP, is something stoping it working as protection
or have I got a dodgy file ?

Tony

It is probably a Dos program.What is it ?

Dodgy brain more like.

Go Start/Run/type "cmd" (don't type quotes), press ENTER. Run the program
from the shell prompt.

As others have suggested, it might be a dos program.
Try to use Command Prompt to run the file, you will see what the
program's message.
