Hi,
I can't get SimHealth to work.
Apparently, SimHealth uses 286 protected mode. I have the exact same problems as this thread here: SimHealth and the Phar Lap Extender
I've tried all sorts of emulators and extenders but nothing works. 🙁 One of my friends says he tried it in pure DOS 6.22, and it works that way only for him.
"After reading gobs of posts on this and other forums, I believe that the inherent problem I'm having running SimHealth is that Phar Lap is not a very fun extender.
Errors I get: In WXP I get error 286.2360 : Out of interrupt stacks.
It doesn't seem to matter what I set the stacks variable to in the config.nt file, this error persists. It is my understanding that stacks is kinda bogus in XP, but I'm not real clear on this.
I then tried running it in DOSBox, but I get a different error: 286.3330 : Segment not present fault detected.
I have no idea what that error is about.
In the WXP native environment, the 286.2360 error typically won't show up until I hit the enter key somewhere or try to play a script in the game. (The script is this thing telling you all about a health program you could implement).
Anyone have any ideas? Should I just give up on this?
Thanks! "
I'm sure that it is a software issue not hardware, as this guy above and my friend have the same errors. (I have Pentium 4 3.4Ghz, 1 gigabyte of RAM, ATI RADEON X600XT 128MB etc.)
I've tried using the latest DOSBox version. I have read the readme in the download but it didn't have any pertinent information as far as I could tell.
Any clues?
Thanks.
