TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Error Codes-
0203xFFFF Out of Far Memory. This should be rare, however, a boot disk
should solve this. If it doesn’t, then check for TSR’s which may
be using upper memory through the “Devicehigh” or “Loadhigh”
commands. This includes the “/e” on the MSCDEX line. Try
loading them low as memory will allow.
0303xFFFF Out of EMS Memory. This one should be more common on
machines with 4 MB of RAM and some TSR’s loading high. Be
sure to have at least 2700K EMS with some breathing room to
spare.You may want to maximize the upper memory usage by
booting with only an XMS or extended memory manager like
HIMEM.SYS from DOS.See the install guide, page 6, for a sug-
gested boot configuration using XMS memory.
1303xFFFF Out of Memory, Memory too Fragmented. This should be rare,
but possible on 4 MB machines, and nonexistent on 8+ MB
machines. Basically what is happening is that as data is de-allo-
cating memory, the blocks being left open are not sufficient to
contain a chunk of data without fragmenting it over several
blocks. Since the data must remain contiguous, and have
somewhere to go, this error is generated when either of these
conditions cannot be met. A boot disk with NO non-essential
TSR’s should head off this error code.
C016xFFFF This error occurs when a shape was not in the file cache when
the program called on it. Could be a TSR or fragmented memo-
ry causing it. Usually restricted to 4 MB machines.
1209xFFFF This error is basically a DOS read error. It means the CD ROM
drive could not be accessed, the CD is no longer in the drive, or
you selected “no” after getting a “disk error, try again? (y/n)”
message while playing the CD. Could be a bad CD, IO/IRQ
conflict, or corrupted CD-ROM drivers. Try re-installing if you
copied the games executables to the hard drive when you origi-
nally installed the game.
1910 & 1941 These are common install errors which can usually be over-
come by deleting the “SC” directory completely, then re-
