A friend has recently purchased a copy of Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer version 2.0. The program refuses to run on his computer. When you start it up, it asks for some password from the manual; once you enter the password, it will flash a view from the cockpit for a fraction of a second, and then return you to the DOS prompt. It looks like the program puts a 'Divide Overflow' message on the screen just before it dies (it clears the screen as it crashes, so it's hard to tell for sure). The hardware is a Packard Bell 486 DX, with 4MB RAM, and a SVGA monitor. Here are some things I've done already: - Create a "clean" bootable diskette (no autoexec or config.sys), and boot from it and try to run the program. Did not work. - Installed the program on another Packard Bell at a shop. Did not work. - Installed the program on my own Packard Bell 286. Worked fine!! So, can anyone help with this? Obviously the disks are ok, since we've been able to make things work on at least one other computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated, e-mail if possible.
