- Just received BC 5.0 and like most everyone else, been busy tring to
- tweak out all the quirks! My system is a Win 95 with 32 MB.
-
- First I found I need much more room on my hard drive than the box
- displayed. At one point I had over 220,000,000 bytes free, but it was
- still not enough. Ended up freeing up more than 300,000,000 bytes before
- BC 5.0 could load.
-
- Second none of the icons appeared for BC 5.0 system, and all the help
- files where empty. The commands "UNREG -d " at the /BC5 dirctory and
- Re-runing the BC5 setup program witb only the "Icons/System
- Files/Registry" fixed that problem.
-
- After loading the patch, I found I still could not link 16 bit code.
- After some more reading, The CONAGENT.EXE properties where set to the
- following:
- Program: Close on Exit was set.
- Memory: Total, Intial Environment, DPMI Memory
- Set to Auto
-
- 32 bit mode works fine, so I think it is just a mater of program settings
- to get the 16 mode to correctly link. Also since I did not want to erase
- 4.5 before I proved to myself that 5.0 will work, both 4.5 and 5.0 are
- pathed. If BC4.5 is pathed before 5.0 would that give 5.0 problems? Also
- had a message that C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BWCC16.PAK was open during the
- install and it would be set to write in the delay mode. As anyone else
- come across that error?
