What application is it? Do you have the source code? –Cody Gray Aug 17 '14 at 9:27 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote You have a lot of options. FreeDOS:Instead of installing MsDos, install that one Emulator on the machine: Istead of installing it on a virtual machine, do it on the real one. DosBOX: Istead of using Q emulator, use DosBOX, multi-platform, and works like a charm on any machine. share|improve this answer answered Apr 6 '12 at 14:28 TweakFix 46125 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote I'm not sure how old this system is, but it may have subtle incompatibilites in the chipset that ca

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.

The computer overflow error POSTs but never gets to windows. It starts, showing the Windws Logo then restarts, even going into safe mode, loads the right files then just restarts. Now on to my main problem where this error shows: Since it is not booting I wanted to test the hardware first, to eliminate going any further on windows problems. I put in my Hiren's BootCD, and go to load a test (hard drive, RAM) divide overflow error and it gives me the error "your program caused a divide overflow error`` I looked up reasons this could happen and tried what I could but with no avail. Tried in the bios setting the chipset to a clockspeed of 266MHz rather then set to Auto, (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240982/en-us) The RAM runs at 400MHz. Also tried switching out the ram, switching out the processor, as that could be an issue. The disc works fine on other computers, but not this one. So something, either hard ware or some setting is stopping this from being able to run. Another suggestion was to turn off firewalls, but theres no firewall check on bootup or anything.. I`m out of ideas, any suggestions appreciated. EDIT: Ok so, so far I've found out that while both hard drives are connected, I get this error, connected seperatly there is no error and I can run some tests. I haven't left any test fully through as of yet but I will be. I've switched the jumper so that it is set to Master/Slave and tried Cable Select, neither works. I'm thinking either the harddrives are having conflicts, not working together, or theres a problem with the motherboard trying to use both. The thing is, I don't know why it happe
