Hi! I am having trouble with FreeDOS on Virtual PC 2007. I am able to install it OK, and two of the three (four?) boot options work.
Option #2 (the default, and the one that doesn't work) results in the following error: "Illegal instruction occured. CS=FFFF IP=EEC3 SS=D0B4 SP=0004 ES=0070 ...etc... ...etc... Aborting program EMM386 - unable to continue - Please reboot=xxxx" The last four characters "xxxx" are a set of hexadecimal numbers that are change several times each second. I am able to boot to the command prompt using options #1 and #3, but am having trouble running software. For instance, I am trying to install the video game "Out of this World", but receive the following errors when running the installation program: "Line #1 in batchfile 'A:\INSTALL.BAT' too long" If I try to run the setup file directly I get this error: "Interrupt divide by zero, stack: 091B 04e3 ... ..." I also am unable to read the SimCity installation disk in FreeDOS. I am able to mount the drive and change drive letters, but when I try to retrieve the directory contents using the DIR command I get this error: "Volume in drive A Error reading from drive A: DOS error: sector not found" Here are some details regarding my host system: AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.5GB RAM Windows XP Home GeForce 4 TI Plenty of free hard disk space Onboard sound/networking Samsung DVD writer SuperDisk IDE drive for reading floppies Details regarding my virtual system: Virtual PC 2007 128MB RAM 8MB video RAM 1MB code cache 1GB hard disk space Video mode: Text mode, 640 x 400 x 0 I'd appreciate any help you could provide. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
