Running Problems



Hi everyone,


I have an application called ‘Big Wheel Projector’ which came with a music CD 
called ‘Big Wheel’ by the Australian group Icehouse.

I am also using Executor 1.99p with -applzone 4m and tried 8m with  pretend 
sound turned on. This is on an IBM ThinkPad 370C with 540MB HDD and 20MB RAM 
and VESA Driver 1.2 loaded (IBMVESA)

It doesnt say what it requires in terms of System, though it states it requires 
2MB RAM, Colour Monitor and if it doesnt run to remove unnecessary extensions 
to the system folder.

I copied it from diskette to a HFV file I created called BIGWHEEL.HFV using 
drag-and-drop  

When I clicked on the icon, the z - cursor appeared the background just went to 
the wallpaper set, beeped from the speaker 3 times then a dialog box appeared :

emustubs.c:2676
fatal error in ‘_SoundDispatch’
0x1c0004
(Abort)

When I clicked on abort it dumped me back to DOS and the following appeared :

General Protection Fault at eip=0004d4ef
eax=ac09ff94 ebx=00000000 ecx=00000044 edx=07fff188 esi=001837e4 edi=ac09ff94
ebp=001d5d58 esp=001d5ce4 cs=00a7 ds=00af es=00af fs=0087 gs=00d7 ss=00af
Call frame traceback EIPs:
  0x0004d4ef

  0x000d291b
  0x000ce3c0
  0x00105f74
  0x000e4468


 If I turn pretend sound off the first error doesnt appear, but it still dumps 
me out to DOS with a GPF but the numbers and registers are different 
eip=000ae330, etc.

Is there anything else I can try, or is there a place I can upload the file so 
ARDI or someone else can look at it. How would I send it the file is 1230kb or 
so (so I make a HFV file the same size and upload that - or are there other 
tools so I could ZIP the file up or make a disk image of the diskette?

If I can get this to work, I will purchase Executor immediately.

Also a per an email I sent regarding distribution in Australia a few months 
ago, has anything more come of it now that v.2.0 is close? I am thinking of 
writing an article in the Melbourne PC User Group Magazine (which has over 
10000 members and I believe is the second largest group in the world) and 
eventually seeting up a web site and mirroring the DOS files (I have a 5MB 
restriction).

Thanks
