List of DOS errors
Ann Katholi
Microsoft Space Simulator.
Where can I find a list of DOS errror numbers? Or, does anyone know
what error 12 is?
Space Sim starts out ok, but after a short while it blows away with
the Error 12, back to an otherwise blank screen. This donesn't happen
at any particular place in the game, in fact, when my husband tried to
see where it happened, it never did. Of course, my husband doesn;t
really know how to play Space Sim & he crashed into the moon rather
quickly.
TIA

I suspect that the original poster is reporting EMM386 errors, not
DOS error numbers which are almost never seen by the end user. EMM386
errors are seen all too frequently...
Here's the list:
EMM386 Exception Error Codes and their meanings.
Code Meaning
---- -------
0 Divide error
1 Debugger interrupt
2 Nonmaskable interrupt
3 Breakpoint
4 Overflow interrupt
5 Array boundary violation
6 Invalid opcode
7 Coprocessor not available
8 Double fault
9 Coprocessor segment overrun
10 Invalid task state segment
11 Segment not present
12 Stack exception
13 General protection violation
14 Page fault
16 Coprocessor error

In any troubleshooting, it is pretty useful to get the EXACT error
message. There is no "Dos Error 12" as such, I suspect what you are
getting is an Exception Error 12. This is an error message generated
by EMM386.EXE when it receives a "distress signal" from the CPU,
indicating that a Stack Exception has occurred. A stack exception is
caused by the machine running out of stackspace to handle interrupts.
The workaround is to give your system more stackspace by using the
STACKS command in CONFIG.SYS. Start with a line like STACKS=9,256. If
that doesn't fix it, try STACKS=18,256 or even STACKS=18,512. For more
info about the STACKS command, see the on-line help:
C:\>help stacks
Hope this helps
