When I move the mouse after breaking the execution, I get an ' unexpected interrupt' error, and a register dump. (eithor error code 0d or 06) When I talked to Borland about the problem, they said that other people had reported the problem, and it might have to do with mouse incompatibilities. They said that the mouse must be Microsoft compatible version 6.0 or higher, or logitech (something) or higher. FYI, i am using a genius 6000 mouse, driver version 8.08. >(I did call them with another problem and I am (still) very disappointed >in Borland's tech support.

Without overlays, it runs fine. Anyway, tech support says < grip about borland tech support> Exception 13 is a facet of the 386. It is a General Protection error. It could be an attempt by the overlay maneger to do some things and failing because it is in virtual 8086 mode. ( which alot of EMS emulators do) Try disabling the ems, xms, and/or the extended memory swapping. Also, you might want to get a book about the 386 chip to help you understand it.
