- First try this -
If you are using QEMM386, 386MAX or similar and Terminate hangs when exiting
to DOS or shelling or if you have any other problem, then try renaming your
autoexec.bat and config.sys first and then reboot the computer.
REN AUTOEXEC.BAT A.BAT <┘
REN CONFIG.SYS C.SYS <┘
After this, your computer is totally clean of device drivers and other
things that might mess things up. Now run Terminate and see if it still
hangs when exiting or shelling.
If it works perfectly, there is a conflict in your configuration. Try
installing one device-driver at a time, reboot the machine and see if you
can get the error. If it turns out to be QEMM or other memory manager try
excluding X=B000-FFFF. This worked on a PS/2 33MHz. If this worked, try
X=B000-EFFF and process until Terminate hangs again. Other programs which
use XMS/EMS or high memory could also mess up, if you did not exclude the
correct area. You could say "but all my other programs work", but the
reason for your problems could be that as Terminate is a highly advanced
program, it uses all resources it can get to increase the performance.
- Messy screen -
If your screen messes up when moving the mouse, try installing a newer
mouse driver. Download LMOUSE61.ARJ from DAN BBS: it also works with 100
and 132 columns.
- XMS problems on old 286-machines -
If you have a 286 with an old BIOS and use HIMEM.SYS, there could be some
problems. Try getting the newest HIMEM.SYS from your DOS manufacturer or
use the /NOXMS command.
- PS/2 problem -
The mouse driver MOUSE.COM will sometimes conflict with EMS when using
Terminate. The solution is not to load the mouse driver into high
memory. If you use MOUSE.EXE 9.0 from MicroSoft, use the /E parameter to
force the driver to use convential memory.
- Realtime-clock problems on XT-machines -
If Terminate detects that you are using an XT-machine (8088, 80186, 8086,
NEC V20, NEC V30), the soundcard check is turned off by default. The
reason for this is that on some machines with a special realtime card
installed, the soundcard check would set off the date/time. If you want
to try using the soundcard anyway, start Terminate with a /YESCARD
parameter on the commandline.
- Terminate stops and nothing happends after a BBS login using IEMSI -
This is a common problem which appears when using IEMSI and enabling
Avatar codes at the same time. Avatar has the problem of using the same
codes as Xon/Xoff, which is something used for software flowcontrol. The
solution is easy: Make sure that your modem only uses hardware
flowcontrol (CTS/RTS) and turn off software flowcontrol. On some modems
it is done by typing:
AT&H3 & enter
AT&W & enter (Write setup in modem)
Please look these parameters up in your modem manual, if Terminate should
not support your modem directly.
