-
- - First try this -
-
- If you are using QEMM386, 386MAX or similar and Terminate hangs when exiting
- to DOS or shelling or if you have any other problem, then try renaming your
- autoexec.bat and config.sys first and then reboot the computer.
-
- REN AUTOEXEC.BAT A.BAT <┘
- REN CONFIG.SYS C.SYS <┘
-
- After this, your computer is totally clean of device drivers and other
- things that might mess things up. Now run Terminate and see if it still
- hangs when exiting or shelling.
-
- If it works perfectly, there is a conflict in your configuration. Try
- installing one device-driver at a time, reboot the machine and see if you
- can get the error. If it turns out to be QEMM or other memory manager try
- excluding X=B000-FFFF. This worked on a PS/2 33MHz. If this worked, try
- X=B000-EFFF and process until Terminate hangs again. Other programs which
- use XMS/EMS or high memory could also mess up, if you did not exclude the
- correct area. You could say "but all my other programs work", but the
- reason for your problems could be that as Terminate is a highly advanced
- program, it uses all resources it can get to increase the performance.
-
- - Messy screen -
-
- If your screen messes up when moving the mouse, try installing a newer
- mouse driver. Download LMOUSE61.ARJ from DAN BBS: it also works with 100
- and 132 columns.
-
- - XMS problems on old 286-machines -
-
- If you have a 286 with an old BIOS and use HIMEM.SYS, there could be some
- problems. Try getting the newest HIMEM.SYS from your DOS manufacturer or
- use the /NOXMS command.
-
- - PS/2 problem -
-
- The mouse driver MOUSE.COM will sometimes conflict with EMS when using
- Terminate. The solution is not to load the mouse driver into high
- memory. If you use MOUSE.EXE 9.0 from MicroSoft, use the /E parameter to
- force the driver to use convential memory.
-
- - Realtime-clock problems on XT-machines -
-
- If Terminate detects that you are using an XT-machine (8088, 80186, 8086,
- NEC V20, NEC V30), the soundcard check is turned off by default. The
- reason for this is that on some machines with a special realtime card
- installed, the soundcard check would set off the date/time. If you want
- to try using the soundcard anyway, start Terminate with a /YESCARD
- parameter on the commandline.
-
- - Terminate stops and nothing happends after a BBS login using IEMSI -
-
- This is a common problem which appears when using IEMSI and enabling
- Avatar codes at the same time. Avatar has the problem of using the same
- codes as Xon/Xoff, which is something used for software flowcontrol. The
- solution is easy: Make sure that your modem only uses hardware
- flowcontrol (CTS/RTS) and turn off software flowcontrol. On some modems
- it is done by typing:
-
- AT&H3 & enter
- AT&W & enter (Write setup in modem)
-
- Please look these parameters up in your modem manual, if Terminate should
- not support your modem directly.
