DOS Program suddenly stops in XP
Hi. I have a very properitary DOS accounting program that's used for Agriculture. I've been running it in XP Pro for nearly a year with no problems. I have to keep an old parallel connection HP 600 Deskjet printer because it will only work with the LPT1 port on non-Windows printers. The program opens with a .bat file and a few days ago it suddenly stopped running. It will open the program and go the front screen and then disappear. Occasionally it flashes a DOS screen that says it has a problem with a file in the program. The screen stays up from 1-5 seconds randomly. The weird thing is I've copied the program directory to 2 other XP machines and it will run. Has something in Windows corrupted? Nothing in the setup of the first machine has changed. Thanks for any help you can give.

Its kinda difficult to figure out what the issue is without the actual program name (which might not help us much if it is extremely proprietary .. but I hope you've done a Google search for it anyway) or without the error message (have you checked your System events for any error logs?

Sorry for being sketchy but I've never found anything on the program by searching the net. The program is MMAP. This is the .bat file it starts with:
ECHO OFF FBOMEM > FBWMEM IF /%1 == /NEW GOTO NEWFARM IF /%1 == /new GOTO NEWFARM GOTO NOTNEW :NEWFARM DEL FBW*.* DEL FBF*.DAT COPY FBFPRS.SAV FBFPRS.DAT > NUL COPY FBFCRP.SAV FBFCRP.DAT > NUL REM SHOULD FBFDES.SAV BE CHANGED OR LEFT ALONE 3-11-92 :NOTNEW IF EXIST FBFPRS.DAT DEL FBFPRS.DAT IF EXIST FBFPRT.DAT DEL FBFPRT.DAT IF EXIST FBWCKI2.DAT DEL FBWCKI2.DAT IF EXIST FBFLBL.LBL DEL FBFLBL.LBL IF /%1 == /NEW GOTO SW6-OFF IF /%1 == /new GOTO SW6-OFF GOTO SW6-ON :SW6-OFF FBOMEN (-6) GOTO CHECKBAT :SW6-ON FBOMEN (+6) :CHECKBAT IF EXIST FBWDM4 GOTO END IF EXIST FBWCKL.BAT GOTO RUNBAT GOTO END :RUNBAT FBWCKL :END IF EXIST FBW*. DEL FBW*. IF EXIST FBWCKL.BAT DEL FBWCKL.BAT The error I receive is: C:\MMAP>ECHO OFF Error Accessing File : FBWMEM FBOMEM Segment RT : Error 146 at COBOL PC 148A Press any key to Continue...... |
