Bad Fault in MS-DOS Extender
This error message occurs when the fault handler dispatcher in DOSX.EXE
generates another cascaded fault while trying to handle a protected-mode
exception. This error is usually caused by one of the following factors:
• HIMEM.SYS is unable to control the A20 line.
• DOS=HIGH is not functioning properly (related to HIMEM.SYS control).
• The RAM, static RAM (SRAM), single in-line memory module (SIMM), or
dynamic RAM (DRAM) chips are not functioning properly.
• You are running DR DOS.
• The third-party memory manager is not configured correctly.
• The EMM386.EXE NOEMS x=A000-EFFF line is missing from the Config.sys file.
• You have an old, out-of-date ROM BIOS.
• Your CMOS settings are incorrect.
• Your Windows files are old or corrupted. To test this, create a new
directory on the hard drive, and install Windows in that directory.
• Your disks are corrupted.
• Your system is infected with the Form, Forms, Noint, or Yankee Doodle
virus.
