Sorry I didn't reply earlier but I had no Internet connection since yesterday afternoon.
I've tried the Kaspersky antivirus program -- at least running it without the AVP files -- and it runs and terminates as expected to DOS prompt without problems.
But it fails here, as I wrote, as well as any ZRDX-bound program. Eric also had reported failure.
I think you have an older version of ZRDX and that a newer version fixes a bug in their bind program or earlier extender versoin. Binding with ZRXBIND is the only way I can get a crash with it. It fails, incidentally, with no HIMEM or EMM386 loaded or with Microsoft HIMEM and EMM386 loaded. QV Pro works with ZRDX as downloaded, but not after a ZRXBIND process. That's pretty strong indication of either a ZRXBIND failure or a failure in its internal version of the extender.
Specifically, a ZRXBIND application GPF's on a HLT instruction in the application regardless of memory manager. Eric has reported on older kernel/EMM386 version bugs, he hasn't told me that the latest version of kernel and memory managers fail with it.
I'm going to give this a day to allow for last-minute objections and then mark the bug WORKSFORME.
You won't lie that it works for you, but this won't help :-(
Telling someone to get the latest versions that work is certainly a help. Or we could just leave it NEW forever because it's a problem that we can't fix, assuming the problem really exists anymore.
Whatever used to happen, it isn't happening now.
It isn't happening for you, but it does happen for me, Eric, and the bug reporter.
So send me a program which does it. The evidence here points to a ZRDX bug that was fixed in a later version of the program. Tell you what, grab the latest QV Pro which uses the ZRDX extender. Run it and see if it fails -- the actual download image, not the image after a ZRXBIND processing. If it's like here, the original will work and the ZRXBIND processed version won't.
