- There are other things that can cause this. If the program really uses
-
- a numeric coprocessor, OS/2 should emulate it. There is a fix out for
-
- this called VBIOS.SYS (replacement VDD). Unfortunately, it doesn't fix
-
- all of these NPX problems. Try it, and if it doesn't work, report it
-
- to IBM. I am currently working with an IBM person on one of these.
