OT - Need a bit of computer help

Downloaded the file and saved into F:/Tempfile\gearngn11

Open DOS window with RUN - cmd

Executable is GG110.exe

Runs OK on my setup, PIII 450 Win2kPro SP4, but I do have DOS6.22 installed as a dual-boot which may have made a difference.

Yes I had spotted this when I was running it years ago but they don't exist anymore. The last order form file I have is dated 1994.

Downloaded it and it seems to run OK (I don't use gears enough to guess correct figures -keeps telling me I've put wrong data in) on my 2.5gig machine running WindowsXP, which isn't much help but at least you know it isn't just a speed issue.

Looks like the program 'steals' the clock timing from the motherboard and you are now running too fast for it.

Depending on the board/chip it may be possible to reduce the speed in the bios before it boots and then run the program. Afterwards you would have to change it back again or it would slow down your machine for everything else.

Just build something basic around your old board/chip with a small hard drive, just for running this program.

In the past I've used programs like MoSlo and CPUKiller to create a slow running shell on a fast PC. This allows me to use old progs which won't run on newer PCs.

Do a search on Google for them. I'm sure free downloads are available for at least one.
