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.

Thanks
