Don cyberbuy, Apr 17, 2000 #3 LarryCore Joined: Aug 26, 1999 Messages: 5,223 Umm - as it was starting DOS... I'm afraid that doesn't tell me enough. This is DOS 6.2 right? After MSDOS is now starting? If so, when you see DOS is starting press F8 and you will be stepped through your CONFIG and AUTOEXEC. Say yes to everything and let us know which line gives you the error. If it is BEFORE the MSDOS is starting... that is bad. ------------------ Get free stuff and help out a poor computer tech (NEW DEAL ADDED 4/17/2000): http://www.rkfdcore.com/ebaypics/referrals.htm LarryCore, Apr 17, 2000 #4 cyberbuy Thread Starter Joined: Dec 24, 1999 Messages: 11 Right after it does the system check and it begins to say that it's starting dos 6.22...that's when it beep's and gives me the "DRIVE OVERFLOW" message.

When I point at a target, it either sets my angle and power to 0, wherein I kill myself... or it sets the power to max, wherein I just simply overshoot... I don't get that problem with either the lazy boy or heat guidance. Any info would be appreciated DIVIDE ERRORs (2009-12-02 18:05) AlGoblin I seem to have found a way of getting rid of the "DIVIDE ERROR" problems while loading games. The problem itself seems to happen because the game doesn't load some info, such as team numbers, correctly. To get rid of the issue, F1 as soon as You load the game and reassign the teams. Cheers. P.S. What about "abnormal program termination"? Divide errors (2008-08-05 22:15) chickenlips It runs beautifully for the most part, but I get pretty frequent game crashes to the command line with DIVIDE ERRORs. DOSBox itself appears to remain stable. This occurs mostly when finishing a level and going to the next, but it doesn't always happen. However, three or four rounds into a game, it is almost a surety, and when I reload a saved game from the round before the crash, it will crash every time finishing the following round (in other words, the saved game loads fine, you play the next round, and it crashes when the round results are about to be displayed). I had a couple of DIVIDE ERRORs when just hitting a tank as well, but this was rare. scorched earth (2006-09-05 19:09) pmanwarren it wont down
