I get a weird error message after initalizing the game.

here's what it looks like:

DFMEM: Aborted, error=1
all handles in use

DOS/4GW Professional error (2001): exception 01h (debug exception) at 18:000000
18
TSF32: prev_tsf 6A0C

then it lists a hold bunch of what looks like memory addresses.

I've tried to switch to DOS32a extender but im not sure if i have to imbed it into the prophet.bat file or have the game call it externally. when i tried to imbed it, i recieved the %dos32a% is not a legal command message.

what can i do now?

Executables for this game are named CODE.1 and CODE.2 - You need to apply DOS32A on these.

BTW: Stone prophet works fine for me with DOSBox 0.72 and DOS4GW (without doing anything fancy).

Have you run sound.bat prior launching the game?

Yes. I ran sound.bat first which brings up a GUS native mode installation error about the software being before version 2.00, but that doesnt seem to cause a problem since the game then goes through the sound card check for sound blaster pro 16 etc. Then when I run prophet.bat I get the problem stated above.

i should have mentioned in the orignal post about the computer i have;
HP Pavilion 1.6GHz Dual-Core pentium
Windows Vista home 32-bit OS
2gig Ram
And i got the game via Torent as an .iso file ( i had the orginal many moons ago)
i did not burn it to a cd to install the game either just decompressed the .iso into a new folder and ran the install from there.

ok, so i apparently dont need to change the DOS4GW to DOS32a but that still does not fix the problem, (i had made a back up of the orginal prophet.bat and have since reverted back to the orginal file)

Do I need to find some way to remove the GUS native mode error first?
