#QEMM problem with Targa+
After posting a request for help in Quarterdeck forum I repeat the request here
since two weeks of tweaking have done nothing and Quarterdeck support staff
dont know what to do… here is the problem.. after creating a .FLC file in 3DS
I leave the program and enter Animator Pro to view it on a television set thru
my TARGA +32/64 card, I open AniPro and choose the TARGAPLS.DRV INTERLACED 512
x 486 then choose browse and load the file.. some of the files loaded this way
play thru ok and loop over and over till I click to stop but some larger files
freeze at the end and the NEC monitor then shows the following message:
ABNORMAL PROGRAM TERMINATION PAGE FAULT
CS:EIP= 000Ch:000AD769h Anyone know why this is happening?
Now if I remove from my config.sys file one of the X= areas,like the one where
windows is, I end up with an exception #13 at 560E:FFFF, error code:0000 I
never had to worry about not enough room below 640 K till recently when I added
the NEC CDROM reader and the Logitech soundman 16 card.. Now I only have 522 K
available and many of my other softwares will not run properly… Only have 16
K available in high RAM according to QEMM manifest… If it might help here is
my config.sys and Autoexec.bat LASTDRIVE=F DEVICE=C:\QEM\QEMM386.SYS RAM

would be to remove the smartdrv but then the system works like a snail…I know
I know that Smartdrv doesnt make any difference for rendering time in 3DS but
when searching etc,,, it is slow.. Mine is a 486-50 with 16 Mg ram, Adaptec
EISA Busmaster SCSI 1742 controler, 640mg SCSI HD , floppies ,NEC CD ROM and
the low-end ATI VGA wonder XL card..Do those strange messages ring a bell with
anyone? Thanks from Bob Smith in Montreal…
