problem in running DOS program under windows ME
Hi,
I have an old DOS program which runs fine in every version of Windows EXCEPT WindowsME !. The error box I get is here : "This program has performad an illegal operation and will be terminated.Quit all programs and then restart your ...." and it also shows under its details button : "The program encountered a general protection exception Fault location 10F0:0138 Interrupts in service: None" Thus, it leads me to believe that WindowsME does not do as good of job translating the FAT 32 stuff into compatible FAT16 calls needed by the DOS program. Is there any cure other than dumping WindowsME and putting a different version on all the new machines? The software is an MS-DOS based game ,"THE WORLD OF LEMMINGS" written years ago using MS-Pascal. Thanks Amir |

The software is an MS-DOS based game ,"THE WORLD OF LEMMINGS" written years ago using MS-Pascal. Put the game into a folder on your HD now use a win98 or winME boot disk and access the game from the folder... after you've booted up. The boot disk method is the only way (without an OS hack) that you can get WinME to run dos in real mode |
