Trying to get anything to work.
I have been testing executor since 199c. Using 199c, I was able to get
Microsoft Word 5.1 to work, but since then I haven't been able to get
anything to work. Word simply crashes the system with an "unhandled
trap". I've tried to use ClarisWorks but the screen is drawn all wrong
and the menus don't work right (they try to scroll as if the menu
wouldn't fit on the screen, and then menu items are duplicated). Whenever
a dialog box has come up, the window is redrawn all wrong (it tries to
draw a much smaller window). When I tried to use FileMaker Pro it said
that all of the files were corrupt, even if I tried to create a new one,
so I can't get beyond the first dialog box.
I've tried executor on DOS and Linux (1.0.8) with a 486-50 with 16Megs.
I've tried adding memory with applzone, I've tried reducing bit depth
(ClarisWorks just crashes if I try -bpp 1), I've tried refresh and
noclock. Am I doing something wrong, or am I expecting too much out of
the experimental version.
I really hope to be able to use executor succesfully. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
