    Anyone running the old DOS Door game Usurper on Windows 7 32-bit? I ran tppatch.exe and fixed the runtime 207 error, but am getting an Error: Invalid argument, ... not sure where to load the fossil drive from.

    I ran tppatch.exe and fixed the runtime 207 error, but am
    getting an Error: Invalid argument, ... not sure where to load
    the fossil drive from.

    I have it working here. Version 0.24 if that matters.

    In my USURPER.CTL I have the keyword XFOSSIL uncommented, and the
    keyword BBSTYPE set to DORINFO1.

    In SCFG I have the command line: usurper /P%n
    and the Dropfile type set to DORINFO1.DEF

    Hope that helps!

    yeah, tppatch and the like are for RT 200's which are divide by zero... RT 207 is floating point error... there is no patch for that... more information is needed to figure out the problem...
