Ive set up Teamviewer on two pc's - XP, and Win98

I am able to connect without any problem either way.

The Win98 pc is running a dos based billing application ( don't ask ....)

From the XP pc I am able to control any Win apps on the 98 pc.

If I click the icon for the dos based app it drops to the taskbar immediately and there is no way to open that window. Right click options do nothing.
alt-tab doesn't help.

Question - is the Dos based app just not ' doable ' over a remote connection - or is there another remote connection application( like logmein perhaps ) that will work on Win98 and be able to open dos apps correctly ?
 
Hmm Dos, I would rather use RDP(remote desktop protocol). UltraVNC will also have alot on configuration options to allow DOS apps to control screen over network.
 
Full Screen DOS is remote access Kryptonite. I am assuming that the app is trying to run in full screen mode, try run it in a window and see what happens; I assume it will work....
