#Animator Pro on Pentium
6 messages in this thread
Hello!
I`ve Animator Pro 1.3 installed on my Dell Omniplex 566 (PCI
Pentium/66 with 64 MB RAM and SCSI HD). When I try to start ANI.EXE
I`ve to wait about one minute and then I recieve the following
message: Can`t initialize resources. Access denied. (File read
only?) Any key to continue>
After pressing a key I4m back on the prompt. When I install AApro 1.3 on one
of the other PC in our network I`ve no problems (but it takes a minute to enter
ANI).
I`m using DOS 6.2 with HIMEM.SYS and EMM386 (noems) on every PC. The only
difference is that one is a PCI-Pentium with 64 MB RAM and the other are
VLB-486/66 with 32 MB RAM.
AniPro 1.3 is on the local Harddisk and none of the files are read only. The
resource directory and the PAAT directory are there.
Can it be a timing problem of the Pentium or the PCI Bus? What can I do to
solve the problem?
Any help is welcome. Thanks in advance.

I can't get Ani Pro 1.3 to boot up when I'm using EMM386. Try knocking that
out of your config.sys and see if it'll work.
Hi Paul!
I`ve tried to start up Ani Pro without EMM386 and the error message came up
much faster :-).
But I can4t still start Ani Pro 1.3. Do you have an other idea?

"I can't get Ani Pro 1.3 to boot up when I'm using EMM386. Try knocking that

This could also be related to a couple of things: EMM386 enables "DPMI" modes
that are not compatible with AAPro. However, you enable these DPMI modes
explicitly in your config.sys. EMM386 alone does not do it.
You might also experiment with the switches on your EMM386 line – there are
some conditions which might prevent AAPro from running.

Hmmm. I haven't heard this one. If you had not said that other PCs with this
configuration work okay, I would have suggested taking out the NOEMS switch on
the EMM386 line, and use CFIG386 on AAPro:
CFIG386 ANI -MAXV 0 <enter>.
Unless you have a very low amount of Base Memory, this might help speed up
loading.

Ok. Maybe the new Ani Pro (2.0) will solve my problems. Do you know when it
will be available? (Just a joke, I know that Autodesk doesn`t talk about
future… 🙂 )
