No Idea what the error is

ViolentJerichoPosted on 07/18/03 at 09:05:16

:- I just installed TNM7 on my new computer and got all my old wrestlers/plugins and everything back and I tried to run a card but as soon as I try to save the card the program exits by itself and I can't even get a chance to see what the error was. Does anyone have a clue what's going on? I ran diagnostics it found nothing wrong

It isn't anything that's wrong with TNM 7. Some versions of Windows' DOS shell show that behavior which there is no base for nor a straight workaround for.

In some versions of Windows, this helps:

Please right-click the "DOS Prompt" icon on your Windows desktop and click "Properties".

Then look for a checkbox along the lines of "Prevent Application From Detecting Windows" and make sure it is checked.

I'm sorry I'm running Windows XP and I don't know how to get to the dos prompt, I tried to run it in different windows compatability modes but that didn't work either :(

Hmmm... that is positively odd.

To start TNM through a shell that doesn't close, please do the following:

1) Right-click on an empty space on your desktop.
2) Select "New", then "Shortcut".
3) For the shortcut enter:
cmd /k c:\tnm7\tnm.bat
(substitute the actual folder where your TNM resides for
c:\tnm7)
4) When the shortcut has been created, right-click it and bring up
"Properties".
5) The property sheet will pop up. In the lower half of the window,
there's a field titled "Run in" (or something to that effect), with
%windir% being entered in the text box on its right.
6) Replace %windir% with the folder where your TNM 7 resides, e.g.
c:\tnm7
7) Click "OK" and you should be set.

Please let me know what error code you're given then.

Thanks!

The error that I get is

Error 7 at pgm-ctr 173139

"Error 7" means "out of memory". Most likely your wrestler and/or move databases are too large.

As a pointer: your wrestler database should be around 600-700 max, the move database in the 400-600 region. Please use TNM7DIAG to find out your exact numbers.

Daaaaaaamn.  I've only got 1516.  Sounds like somebody installed minis in their TNM!
