Hi, the error message translates to, roughly, "program jumped to address 257.7 MBytes which does not exist". While FD EMM386 has the MEMCHECK option to make access to non-existing memory allowed, it would not help for YOUR case, because the program tried to RUN in non-existing memory.
You might want to ask Michael for the latest testing binary of emm386, which might improve stability, and you might want to run memtest86 on your system to see if your RAM modules are really okay. Maybe the jump-to-the-wrong-place was because of a loose bit in your RAM - in particular, you wrote that it happens with DR DOS as well (I thought their EMM386 was an EXE, like the others, too?). You should also try if it helps to explicitly use other DPMI hosts instead of the default one for LYNX (which is probably an old version of cwsdpmi). A newer cwsdpmi can be preloaded by CWSDPMI -P command, or just put it in your path to let LYNX load it on demand. You can also "stub" it to lynx exe, but I cannot tell you how exactly that works - read the manual. If your program uses DOS4GW, try loading it with DOS32A, like "dos32a lynx". Finally, you can load DPMIONE before you load LYNX. Might help, too. Seems to be a good DPMI implementation which can even run Win3.x kernel directly, but on the other hand, config 9.33 by Holin.de does not detect DPMIONE but detects CWSDPMI, strange... For CWSDPMI, you should read the manual to learn how to disable swapfile usage. Eric > Lynx 2.8.5,which I recently installed,would not start.

It would be REALLY interesting for us to know how it can be triggered. ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
