Copying existing Pegasus installation to new computer running Windows 7

I know to run pconfig from the past to change the directories, but I cannot seem to do this in Windows 7 64 bit!?

The 64 bit version of Windows does not support 16 bit software.  You might get a copy of DOSBox http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 and run this on the system.  DOSBox will allow you to run, mount and install the c: drive in a DOS emulator and thus allow you to run pconfig.exe.

I am trying to copy my old installation of Pegasus on my previous computer running Windows XP to my new one with Windows 7.

My old installation was in d:\PMAIL

My new installation is, due to the HD setup, c:\PMAIL and I have a mailbox folder in that directory called "Neil".

I know to run pconfig from the past to change the directories, but I cannot seem to do this in Windows 7 64 bit!?

Suggestions greatly appreciated to stop me tearing my hair out!

Thanks.
