- EXPLANATION of MESSAGES
- ***********************
-
- 1. "Code corrupted (CRC error) ─ Execution cancelled"
- --------------------------------------------------
- A failure of 32-bit cyclical redundancy check was encountered when VIz was
- executed.
-
-
- 2. "Requires 286 or higher CPU ─ Execution cancelled"
- --------------------------------------------------
- 286+ versions of VIz cannot be executed in 8088, 8086, or (some) 80186 CPU
- machines.
-
-
- 3. "Requires 386 or higher CPU ─ Execution cancelled"
- --------------------------------------------------
- 386+ versions of VIz cannot be executed in 8088, 8086, 80186, or 80286 CPU
- machines.
-
-
- 4. "Requires DOS 2.0 or higher ─ Execution cancelled"
- --------------------------------------------------
- The program requires an MS-DOS compatible version equal to or greater than
- 2.10 for proper execution.
-
-
- 5. "Unknown video card or incompatible CRT controller"
- ---------------------------------------------------
- VIz was unable to determine the active video adapter and, thus, is unable
- to mediate video acceleration services. Execution is cancelled.
-
-
- 6. "Installed - Enter 'VIz ?' for Help"
- ------------------------------------
- VIz was successfully executed and the resident(s) installed.
-
-
- 7. "ANSI.SYS or similar utility is already installed"
- "Loading of the resident ANSI filter is cancelled"
- --------------------------------------------------
- During installation with switch /A selected, interrupt 29h was found to be
- pointing to a device (or a resident mimicking a device) with the name CON.
- Since such a device is likely to be ANSI.SYS (or an ANSI-like utility) the
- resident ANSI filter of VIz is not installed; to force installation of the
- ANSI filter, uninstall VIz and reinstall with switch /A+.
-
-
- 8. "Updated - Enter 'VIz ?' for Status"
- ------------------------------------
- The relevant resident parameters of VIz were successfuly updated.
-
-
- 9. "Not enough memory to restore video contents"
- "Continue? [Yn] "
- ---------------------------------------------
- When switch /C?, /?H, or /? is selected, VIz attempts to allocate via DOS
- an additional 4500 bytes for video processing. This message is displayed
- if enough memory is not available (other functions can still be executed).
- Press <Enter> or <Y> to proceed with display, or <Esc> or <N> to abort.
-
-
- 10. "Invalid switch /Xx - Request disregarded"
- ------------------------------------------
- An invalid switch designator (X) or parameter (x) was passed to VIz.
-
-
- 11. "Cannot add resident modules after installation"
- "Uninstall and then reinstall with switch '/A+'"
- ------------------------------------------------
- Switch /A+ was requested after VIz was installed without the resident ANSI
- filter. Viz needs to be uninstalled and then reinstalled with the switch.
-
-
- 12. "Cannot add resident modules after installation"
- "Uninstall and then reinstall with switch '/Vn'"
- ------------------------------------------------
- Switch /Vn was requested after VIz was installed without the cursor module
- being resident. Viz needs to be uninstalled and then reinstalled with the
- switch.
-
-
- 13. "Invalid page request"
- ----------------------
- A page greater than the maximum page allowed by the video adapter and the
- current video font was requested. The CGA supports four 80x25 text pages
- (0-3). The EGA, MCGA, and VGA support eight 80x25 pages (0-7), or 4 pages
- when 80x43 (EGA), 80x40 (MCGA), or 80x50 (VGA) font displays are used.
-
-
- 14. "Only pages 0-3 can be used with 43/50-row fonts"
- -------------------------------------------------
- A video page (4 through 7) incompatible with the video font was requested
- (see above).
-
-
- 15. "Not enough memory to load 12-row or 35-row font"
- "Continue? [Yn] "
- -------------------------------------------------
- When switch /F12 or /F35 is selected, VIz attempts to allocate via DOS an
- additional 7040 or 11648 bytes for video font processing. This message is
- displayed if enough memory is not available (other functions can still be
- executed). Press <Enter> or <Y> to proceed with font, or <Esc> or <N> to
- abort.
-
-
- 16. "Invalid mode request"
- ----------------------
- A video mode incompatible with the (active) video adapter was requested.
-
-
- 17. "Invalid adapter request"
- -------------------------
- An operation or service incompatible with the (active) video adapter was
- requested.
-
-
- 18. "Incomplete RGB data - Partial palette update"
- ----------------------------------------------
- An incomplete list of EGA/VGA palette RGB mixtures was provided. Only the
- data provided were updated.
-
-
- 19. "Invalid RGB datum - Palette unchanged"
- ---------------------------------------
- An invalid RGB mixture datum was provided in an EGA/VGA palette list. The
- data of the palette were not changed.
-
-
- 20. "Invalid bell frequency"
- ------------------------
- A bell tone frequency less than 25 Hz or more than 5000 Hz was requested.
-
-
- 21. "ANSI driver not yet installed"
- -------------------------------
- Switch /A- was requested when the ANSI filter had not been installed.
-
-
- 22. "Uninstalled"
- -------------
- The program resident was successfuly deallocated from memory.
-
-
- 23. "Not yet installed"
- -------------------
- Uninstalling was requested when the program was not yet installed.
-
-
- 24. "Interrupt XXh has been revectored - Cannot uninstall"
- "Remove revectoring or inactivate with switches /Q/A-"
- ------------------------------------------------------
- The address (segment:offset) of the specified interrupt has been changed
- since its interception during the program installation; if more than one
- interrupt was revectored, only the first one is displayed.
-
-
- 25. "Failed to release resident block [DOS error ??h]"
- --------------------------------------------------
- DOS did not deallocate the lower-memory block allocated to the resident
- at the time of installation. One of two error codes may be expected:
-
- 7 - Memory blocks above the DOS area trashed.
- 9 - Invalid block request.
-
- These errors indicate a corruption of the memory control chain of the
- operating system. Reboot machine as soon as possible.
-
-
- 26. "Failed to detect presence of an XMS manager (XMM)"
- ---------------------------------------------------
- The program failed to determine presence of a driver compatible with the
- Extended Memory Specification (XMS) version 2+, and the requested upper-
- memory load (/H) defaulted to a normal, lower-memory installation.
-
-
- 27. "Failed to allocate upper-memory block [XMS error ??h]"
- -------------------------------------------------------
- The XMS manager did not allocate the requested UMB; one of the following
- XMS error codes may be expected:
-
- 80h - Function is not implemented.
- 8Eh - General driver error occurred.
- 8Fh - Unrecoverable driver error occurred.
- B0h - Smaller UMB is available.
- B1h - No UMBs are available.
- B2h - UMB segment number is invalid.
-
-
- 28. "Failed to allocate upper-memory block [DOS error ??h]"
- -------------------------------------------------------
- DOS 5.0 did not allocate the requested UMB; one of the following error
- codes may be expected:
-
- 7 - Memory blocks above the DOS area trashed.
- 8 - Not enough memory.
-
- Error 7 indicates corruption of the memory control chain of DOS; reboot
- immediately. Error 8 indicates that UMBs are not available; install the
- program in low memory.
-
-
- 29. "Memory allocation mode not restored [DOS error ??h]"
- -----------------------------------------------------
- Failed to restore the default DOS memory allocation strategy after the
- program changed it for UMB allocation. Reboot immediately.
-
-
- 30. "Failed to release upper-memory block [XMS error ??h]"
- ------------------------------------------------------
- The XMM did not free the allocated UMB. (See above for XMS error codes
- 8Eh, 8Fh, and B2h.)
-
-
- 31. "Failed to release upper-memory block [DOS error ??h]"
- ------------------------------------------------------
- DOS 5.0 did not free the allocated UMB. (See above for DOS error codes
- 07h and 09h.)
-
-
- 32. "UMB not available above requested minimum"
- -------------------------------------------
- A free upper-memory block was not available above the lower high-memory
- address specified by switch /Hn. Resident was installed at a lower UMB
- whose value is displayed in the installation message.
-
-
- 33. "Unable to change DOS environment [Error ?]"
- --------------------------------------------
- Failed to create/update the requested environment variable. Three error
- codes are possible:
-
- 1: Not enough room in the global environment block.
- 2: Null terminator for environment block not found.
- 3: Null size environment block.
-
- Error 1 may be due to a small DOS environment block, while errors 2 and
- 3 indicate corruption of this block.
-
-
- 34. "DOS loaded high (HMA) - Switch /E ignored"
- -------------------------------------------
- Failed to create/update the requested environment variable when DOS 5.0
- was installed in the High Memory Area. The error may be due to a small
- DOS environment block, or an undocumented DOS change. If an increase of
- the environment size does not help, please contact the program vendor.
