I have recently purchased Hiarcs 7 upgrade version and successfully installed (from DOS as instructions require) and have been able to run Hiarcs 7 from Windows 98 with 128kb hash table. However, when I try to run in DOS "safe mode command prompt only" to get 64 MB hash table it locks up my computer and I have to do a hard reset from the tower reset button. It gets as far as bringing up the chess board screen but then freezes up. This is both when I load a mouse driver or without a mouse driver. I also have Hiarcs 6 and the "-x switch" with 64 MB hash table works just fine. I have read about the Dell "-x switch" problem, but my system is not a Dell. It is an OEM computer called Myoda. It has an Intel PII 300 MHZ CPU, 128 MB SDRAM, running Intel BIOS version 12 and Windows 98 operating system. I would be more suspicious of the hardware except for the fact that Hiarcs 6 runs just fine using 64MB hash tables. Can anyone offer any help with this matter. Gary Foerster
