So you have a MS-DOS installed to a virtual machine on your super new multicore computer and it consumes 100% of your CPU (well… 100% of one core actually…)?
You need a dosidle util (zipped files, zipped floppy image).
Start your MS-DOS virtual machine. “Insert” a dosidle.img into a virtual FDD. Copy dosidle folder to C:\ drive.
In “C:\>” prompt type:
edit autoexec.bat
Insert “C:\DOSIDLE\DOSIDLE” after the last line.
File -> Save.
File -> Exit.
“Eject” dosidle.img from a virtual FDD. Turn off and on virtual machine.
Dosidle installed successfully. Your virtual machine is not consuming 100% of CPU (one core) anymore.
DOSIDLE Works perfectly. But somehow it conflicts with my mouse driver. I am now unable to click buttons in Norton Commander for instance. When I click like a maniac, it seems to work. Any workaround for this?
