Help with exe. files

Please can someone give me a bit of advice??I`m having difficulty with program exe. files.When I double click on the shortcut icons on the desktop,after installing various programs,they wont start.It keeps saying that the program can`t run in MS-DOS.When I right click on the icon it says that the exe. is MS-DOS.When I click on them, all I get is a plain black window opening for a split second.I hope that I`ve explained the problem enough!!Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks.

Are the programs you installed old programs or does this happen with all the installed programs?

Try this little test, locate one of the programs that wont open, in the root directory, click on its exe file and see if it opens then let us know.

Help us to help you!
Be specific with your problem and tell us your machines specs.
