Hello,

i have an old DOS program that nots working any more with Win 7.
At the start, i get Runtime Errror 202 06F5:24EF. Tried it on two different PCs with different mounted directories.
I´m using the current release. I´ve read the readme and the trouble shooting guide.
Is the error 202 still related to the deep of directory entries?

I´m a c# developer. If it´s an easy area, i would try to fix it myself.
Could you give me any advice?
thanks

202 is stack overflow.

Are you using dosbox? If so please post complete system and dosbox specs.

Do not use compatibility mode...
Or be much more descriptive of the problem and the program

Old MS-DOS programs will never, ever run under Win 64.

i know. is there a way to set a parameter or something else to find a workaround for the error? The problem occurs on all win7 and vista systems.
I didn´t tried it with XP, but probably there will be the same prob.

It's unknown where "the" error comes from, stack problems of an application
can be pretty much everything from a bad setup (reinstall the application within dosbox
to fix that) to memory problems (try loadfix) to anything else.
