I am _sure_ that they tested it with Windows, as they talked about it at the Developer's Forum here in Melbourne Australia just prior to the release. I do not know the solution to your particular problem, as I have not actually used DOS 5.0 yet, but I am sure that there is one, and they know what they are talking about.
