-
- - First try this -
-
- If you are using QEMM386, 386MAX or a similar memory management program and
- Terminate hangs when exiting to DOS or shelling or if you have any other
- problem, then try renaming your autoexec.bat and config.sys first and then
- reboot the computer.
-
- REN AUTOEXEC.BAT A.BAT <┘
- REN CONFIG.SYS C.SYS <┘
-
- After this, your computer is totally clean of any device drivers and other
- things that might mess things up. Now run Terminate and see if it still
- hangs when exiting or shelling.
-
- When using MS-DOS 6.0 or above, you can also press the F5 key on your
- keyboard to bypass AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Refer to your DOS manual
- for more detailed information.
-
- If it works perfectly, there is a conflict with your DOS configuration. Try
- installing one device-driver at a time, reboot the machine and see if you
- get the error message again. If it turns out to be QEMM or other memory
- manager try excluding X=B000-FFFF. This worked on a PS/2 33MHz. If this
- works, try X=B000-EFFF and proceed until Terminate hangs again. Other
- programs which use XMS/EMS or high memory could also have problems, if you
- did not exclude the correct area. You may want to say "but all my other
- programs work", but the reason for your problems could be that as Terminate
- is a very advanced program, it uses all the resources it can get to
- increase the performance.
-
- - Messy screen -
-
- If your screen messes up when moving the mouse, try installing a newer
- mouse driver. Download LMOUSE61.ARJ from DAN BBS: it also works with 100
- and 132 column screen mode.
-
- - XMS problems on old 286-machines -
-
- If you have a 286 with an old BIOS and use HIMEM.SYS, there could be some
- problems. Try getting the newest HIMEM.SYS from your DOS manufacturer or
- use the /NOXMS command on the Terminate command line.
-
- - PS/2 problem -
-
- The mouse driver MOUSE.COM will sometimes conflict with EMS when using
- Terminate. The solution is not to load the mouse driver into high memory.
- If you use MOUSE.EXE 9.0 from MicroSoft, use the /E parameter to force the
- driver to use convential memory.
-
- - Real time-clock problems on XT-machines -
-
- If Terminate detects that you are using an XT-machine (8088, 80186, 8086,
- NEC V20, NEC V30), the soundcard check will be turned off by default. The
- reason for this is that on some machines with a special realtime card
- installed, the soundcard check sets off the date/time. If you want to try
- to use the sound card anyway, start Terminate with a /YESCARD parameter on
- the commandline.
-
- - Terminate stops and nothing happens after a BBS login using IEMSI -
-
- This is a common problem which appears when using IEMSI and enabling Avatar
- codes at the same time. Avatar has the problem that it uses codes which are
- identical to Xon/Xoff, which is something used for software flowcontrol.
- The solution is easy: Make sure that your modem only uses hardware
- flowcontrol (CTS/RTS) and turn off software flowcontrol. On some modems
- this is done by typing:
-
- AT&H3 Enter
- AT&W Enter (Save setup in modem)
-
- Please look up these parameters in your modem manual, if Terminate should
- not support your modem directly.
