Do you have a 387 coprocessor? If not; that could be the cause of your problem.... In the past; there have been problems in the 387 emulator. If you don't have one; I can recommend the Cyrix and INTEL versions, stay away from anything else [that's assuming you can still find somewhere to buy one.] - Dave R. -
