STACK ERROR/MS-DOS 3.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using MS-DOS 3.2, certain conditions may cause a "fatal
|
|
stack error". If the condition exists, DOS will display the
|
|
error message:
|
|
|
|
"FATAL: Internal Stack Failure. System Halted."
|
|
|
|
The error can occur while using some applications or games. An
|
|
example is the game Battle Zone.
|
|
|
|
Certain hardware configurations are known to cause the failure.
|
|
An example of one configuration that is known to display the
|
|
error uses AST's Premium 286. When the 3G card is installed with
|
|
the Emulation switch set to ON and configured for a monochrome
|
|
monitor, the symptom can be produced when the "System Test"
|
|
portion of AST's ASTUTE Diagnostics (Version 1.1) are ran. After
|
|
the prompt "Video Adapter testing starting at TIME" is displayed,
|
|
you will receive the error:
|
|
|
|
"FATAL: Internal Stack Failure. System Halted"
|
