[snip] OFYI, I have installed FreeDOS 1.2 RC1 on VMware Player 5.0.2 build-1031769. The host OS is OpenSUSE 11.4. The memory setting of the VM is 64 MB and 1 processor. All VM settings are the standard settings as suggested by the virtual machine for a DOS operating system. I have installed FreeDOS out-of-the-box. I only selected the german keyboard and installed all binary programs; no sources at all. Especially I have installed nothing else later and I have not modified anything. The system is as installed by the installer. LANG=DE in autoexec.bat and the help works flawlessly. I can navigate and search and quit and restart the help again. No issues at all. As soon as I change LANG=ES in autoexec.bat and reboot the system the help program crashes with the output printed below: C:\>help JemmEx: exception 0D accured at CS:EIP=037F:00002C42, ERRC=00000000 SS:ESP=1CD3:00000D6A EBP=00000D6E EFL=00033217 CR0=80000011 CR2=00000000 EAX=C9990004 EBX=00000002 ECX=FFFF0004 EDX=00001582 ESI=0000FFFF EDI=00000008 DS=0354 ES=43D8 FS=EA0E GS=F000 [CS:IP]=F3 A5 73 01 A4 8E DA 8B Press ESC to abort program Pressing ESC aborts the program and starting help again produces the same output. The machine can still be used. The crashing of help seems not to corrupt the machine. After starting help it takes around 20 seconds until the above message appeares. The first 2 boot options produce the above output. The last 2 boot options let the machine freeze. It must be reseted. This also happens if I set LANG=FR. If I set LANG=IT it works again. For all runs the german keybord driver was loaded (mkeyb GR) all the time and absolute no changes neither to CONFIG.SYS nor to AUTOEXEC.BAT have been done. Regards, Juan M.
