Hey, hey: When I try to install 3DS3 on my hardrive I get the first few screens of text explaining the install procedure. Then just before the screen which asks which drive to install to I get the following message: L:101 Syntax Error: "@DATXMSG" was not expected. Press the [Esc] kay. What gives? I tried installing it on an old 386/33 with 4MB of RAM and it installed just fine, so I know it isn't the disks. The machine that is causing problems is a 486DX/33 with 16MB of RAM, but I don't think that memory or processing speed would hamper the installation (since it installed to the old 386) Any ideas? I'm anxious to start the tutorials!

HArley, Does your system have a math coprocessor? There was a syntax problem in one of the install problem that gave back a message like that instead of the message – "math coprocessor not present". -Brian
