Hi Simon,

Do you have the DM5 archive on a QL disk or hard drive and do you have the UNZIP files to extract the zipped compressed files?

If the zip archive is uncompressed on a non-QL platform the executable header will be lost.

The best solution is to use the Archive Control Panel (ACP) which when configured can process any zip, lha, lhq... etc


Regards,

Derek

I just tried to get DM5 running on the latest QPC2/QLE but after it reported a clock error my PC clock was reset to 18-Jan-2053, or 2083 and freezing SMSQ/E, causing W$7 to report updating errors for my virus scanner.
My normal QPC2 now has the same bug so I suspect the recent QPC2/SMSQ/E does interact with the PC clock differently than before because this bug didn't exist when I first installed dm5gd2.
