Windows XP and the 8X14 font problem

I am new to the forum so please excuse me for asking a question that has been asked before on DOSGAMES... I am trying to bring to life an old DOS Application called "Miracle Piano Teaching System" and have run into the 8x14 font problem.. I already downloaded FIX8X14-8x14 from BTTR Software and installed it but the same problem still exist! According to all the info I have currently received it should work, but to no avail... Can anyone help?

Don't know that program but as it's a dos program your best bet will be to try to run it in dosbox 0.72, that is a dos emulator.
This will avoid all the XP restrictions regarding dos programs.
The basics are the same as for dos games.

Try to run it in dosbox, should you encounter problems be so detailed as possible.

Second best would probably be VPC2004 combined with MSDos6.22, but that's a little bit more complicated.
