Hi All
From time to time when I am programming in Euphoria MS-DOS mode by =
computer jumps back to windows 95 with the message Critical Error. The =
last time it did this when I load the program back into the editor I =
found that the last 400 lines of the program gone!
I decided to start the computer in MS-DOS mode by pressing F8 when the =
'Starting windows' message appears and then selecting 'DOS prompt only =
from the menu, to see if this would solve the problem. But to day whilst =
running a small program I was debugging my computer re-booted it self!!
I am not using any commands from machine.e which may cause havoc. All =
other software on my machine runs fine.
As anyone else experienced similar problems?
Dose any one know how to prevent this problem?
Thanks for any advice.
Regard,
Roy

Before you try anything else, run a Virus Scanner. I don't think that's
the problem, but there's nothing to lose.
Do you load any 3rd party extended memory or disk swapping drivers in your
CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT. e.g. QEMM or suchlike, because I think there
may well be a driver conflict somewhere.
A good guess would be your disk caching software, as it seems like the
writes to disk are being delayed for quite some time.
It may be that the conflict lies completely outside Euphoria, and two
other things in your system are "having a fight" and poor old Euphoria
gets kicked.
Good Luck with the problem,
Carl

Some ideas:
There's a known problem, where if you run a program
from the ed editor and you hit control-c, it will usually crash
pretty bad. Solution: run any non-trivial programs directly
from the command line.
You can also see "Critical Error" when a program tries
to open a file that is locked by another program.
This sometimes happens when you run search.ex.
Usually nothing bad results from this.
If it's always the same program, send it to me and
I'll study it.
When something crashes it is a good idea to run
SCANDISK to immediately repair any file system
damage. If you don't clean things up right away,
you risk digging yourself in deeper and possibly
losing files.

Checked the insides of yer computer? Had the same problem with my old
486, to come to find out something was constantly moving to short. :(
Check your power supply too... check the inside of your computer to make
sute that's secure. If everything's good... Check for viruses? no
viruses? reinstall Euphoria? already did? dead-end.
Hope it helps... (I hate acting Technical... what a horrible job... :)

... Whoa... might be something more than I thought... Never happens to
me... I just avoid pressing Ctrl-Break. :) (Computer pukes blue when I
do...)
