I have a game that gives me a divide by zero error every time I try to run it.
I tried TPPATCH but it doesn't work.
The game works on my old computer.

Yeah, it seems to me it's a problem with the DOS4GW executable that the program comes with.

There are several different versions of the DOS/4GW extender floating around. It seems 1.97 is the most common...I know I've got several of them on various CDs, however.

Do a search for it on Google.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Oh, I see.

Anyway, this might help:
First bat file's content:

@echo off
if exist c:\h0000.sav goto del
goto start
:del
del c:\h0000.sav >nul
:start
set dos4g=quiet
advent

Second bat file's content:

@echo off
set dos4g=quiet
set dos4gvm=deleteswap virtualsize#2048 swapname#\upside.swp
advent

I use them to run the game. Does it help?
