Long time big fan of the FOTD There is a working virtual machine using FreeDOS on the fracting.org FTP page You can also use the same version on a USB drive and boot one of your XP machines to that USB drive. If you can find someone local that can load the vm into a Virtual Box (free oracle software available for Win 7, 8, 10, Max OS X, and most Linux machines) You can use the image in the Fractint.ova VM to create a bootable USB drive. There is no official support for VirtualBox on XP The other way to run Fractint on XP would be to use DOSBox (also free download) I have had very good luck running Fractint on FreeDOS (by booting to it from a USB drive and by using it in a VM on a Linux machine and on a Windows 7 machine) It also works in a VM on Windows 10 Thanks for all the great fractals!

Fractal fans:
I'm still here and ready to resume my fractal adventures, but my 21-year-old DOS machine dedicated to Fractint is at the end of the road. I have two other working machines, both running Windows-XP, which probably for video incompatibility reasons will not run the DOS version of Fractint. Is there a version of Fractint that will run under XP and operate similar to the DOS version? If there is, I would appreciate the internet address.
I'm sorry to hear about Paul Lee.
