  • Randomly giving up the ghost...

    From Nick Andre@1:229/426 to All on Sunday, March 29, 2020 11:30:02
    Am trying to address a reported problem of D'Bridge randomly exiting to DOS on Server 2008 32-bit after a day or two of constant operation, heavy tossing.

    If anyone is running D'Bridge on 32-bit Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10, let me know if the problem happens for you.

    Since this never happened on XP and earlier Windows, I am assuming the NTVDM code was changed slightly by Microsoft somewhere in Vista.

    Hi Nick,

    If anyone is running D'Bridge on 32-bit Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10, let me know
    if the problem happens for you.

    Like i told you via email on my Windows10 with NTVDM i can not make the window bigger, even change the lettertype to a bigger font was not possible, i have google it and it seem in Windows10 with NTVDM not possible to change the window
    add all, i can me be wrong here...

    But i found a nice fix i'm using the freeware vDos and that works perfect and this is even up to date... But it would be nice if you can find a solution with
    the NTVDM on Windows10...

    Greetings,
    Rudi

    There is nothing I can program to fix the font-size of the NTVDM on Windows 10. As per my email, please try clicking the Properties of the running session and see if there is a Font menu. Every version of Windows since NT4 has this, including using a system font or raster font. If it does not, that is news to me...

    I have try this but when change font there are no changes to the window, for what i have see on google a lot of people have this problem, and it seems make the window bigger is not possible anymore.... That's why i use vDOS as that works perfect and easy. Mebay someone else here know a solution, but i try everything i know and it just dont work here...

    If anyone is running D'Bridge on 32-bit Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10, let me know if the problem happens for you.

    I'm running D'Bridge on Windows 7 32-bit and never saw that behavior.

    Awhile back I was having issues with it freezing with no error, but that was fixed with the processor affinity setting. No more issues at all I'm happy to report.
