"Code corrupted (CRC error) Ä Execution cancelled" -------------------------------------------------- A failure of 32-bit cyclical redundancy check was encountered when VIz was executed. 2. "Requires 286 or higher CPU Ä Execution cancelled" -------------------------------------------------- 286+ versions of VIz cannot be executed in 8088, 8086, or (some) 80186 CPU machines. 3. "Requires 386 or higher CPU Ä Execution cancelled" -------------------------------------------------- 386+ versions of VIz cannot be executed in 8088, 8086, 80186, or 80286 CPU machines. 4. "Requires DOS 2.0 or higher Ä 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 or to proceed with display, or or 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 or to proceed with font, or or 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. ---------------- ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Trademarked names are the property of the respective owners ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ [END]
