Geoworks Pro

Hi Folks,
i was wondering if anyone has been able to run a program called Geoworks Pro. i have tried running it, but i get the notorious bad handle passed to system error.

thanks
Brad

** please no "why would you want to run it" posts, i just do.

 

Hi BladeTurbo
How goes the battle? I've tried doing a search for you, but have come up with very little. Perhaps if we had a more specific error message?

Hi Daizy,
i too tried doing a search, but with no luck. i know what the problem is, my computer is too fast. i was able to run it on my old 486. i believe that the software cannot recognize the anything over a 486, with more than 1gb of hdd and more than 32mb ram. when i do run it, i get a dos box saying "system error: bad handle passed to system ". i was able to get to the title screen when i used virtual pc, but then after a couple click of the mouse, i get the divide by 0 error (whatever that means). i think my only option is to buy a 486 and just run 2 computers.


thanks
brad

 

Hiya Brad
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Glad to hear that you've made a little headway with it, and in the very least, know how to proceed to make it work.

hi all,
well, i finally got the software loaded after a very long time trying. i used the program virtual pc and loaded windows 95 using a virtual 551mb hdd (anything over a gb would give me an error) and 8mb memory. i had to do some tweaking and poof, it loaded fine.


thanks
Brad

 

Fabulous news Brad!
Congratulations. Thanks so much for taking the time to post back and let us know you got it sorted.
