I AM TRYING TO LOAD VISUAL DB 5.5 FROM MY USB 3.5 FLOPPY DRIVE. I HAVE HAD THE DISKS SINCE 1995 AND NOW WHILE I CAN SEE THE FILES IN MY COMPUTER A: DRIVE I CANNOT GET SETUP TO RUN OR READ THE README FILE, ERROR SAYS DISK INCORRECT FORMAT, (16 BIT???) THAT SEEMS TO COME UP. ALSO WILL NOT RUN UNDER THE DOT PROMPT IN CMD MODE. IS THERE A SOLUTION?
HAVE GIVEN UP TRYING TO USE ACCESS, DBASE IS SO MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY AND NOT AS CRYPTIC AS DBASE!!.
 
Have removed a number of fonts from XP files to clean up computer, and now Visual DB 5.5 will not show the normally large fonts as earlier.
Don't know how to correct.
Have re-installed the fonts and DBase 5.5 but it still doesn't work.
