- ------------------------------------------------------
- WIERDNESS ABOUNDS: I"VE EXAMINED ALL HELP FILES & DOCS
- AND TRIED ALL REASONABLE DIAGNOSTICS KNOWN TO ME:
- ------------------------------------------------------
-
- I hope someone else has seen this and has a fix:
-
- I have been using Borland C++ for Windows, version 3.1 very
- happily for months, including Turbo Debugger for Windows,
- which worked wonderfully, once I set up TDW.INI correctly.
-
- After taking a hiatus from coding for a couple months, I
- wanted to debug the app I had been working on before, and
- lo and behold, upon entering TDW, I get a MessageBox saying
- "Error Loading TDVIDEO.DLL"
-
- Of course, there is no such file "TDVIDEO.DLL" listed
- in the filelist.doc that comes with BC++ 3.1, and, besides,
- the setting in TDW.INI is:
-
- VideoDLL=c:\borlandc\bin\s3.dll
-
- Which is correct, and, again, was working fine a month ago.
- From tape backup I recovered all files in C:\borlandc\bin
- (which includes all the executables for the compiler
- and debugger, as well as the video dll, which in my
- case is s3.dll)
-
- I then switched the video mode to a lower resolution with
- fewer colors (although it worked fine before with 1028x768
- and 256 colors.) Of course, no luck.
-
-
- Here's the obligatory info regarding my setup:
- 486 33MHz with 8 Meg, 212 Meg HD with > 10 Meg free,
- Orchid Motherboard with local 32bit bus to Orchid
- Fahrenheit 1280D display card. Problem occurs at
- all svga settings above 600x400 (I absolutely refuse
- to operate at 600x400 so I didn't even try it ;-)
- TDW.INI is located in C:\windows, with the (pertinent)
- contents:
-
- [TurboDebugger]
- VideoDLL=C:\borlandc\bin\s3.dll
- DebuggerDLL=C:\BORLANDC\BIN\tdwin.dll
- [VideoOptions]
- DebugFile=c:\borlandc\bin\tdw.log
- SaveWholeScreen=no
- Int2FAssist=no
- IgnoreMode=no
-

- Thanks for any leads, tips, or suggestions,
