Looks like some kind of font issue or maybe even low-level vesa problems.

When you run this are you in windows running a command prompt? If so try to boot from a floppy only using dos then try.

Another suggestion maybe a connection type issue but I have no idea how you communicate with the haltech. Does the haltech use a serial connection and work like a tty?

I am getting a haltech next week probally so once I look at the system I will be able to help you. I plan on running Linux as the os and running Dosemu to talk to it.

serial connection, i have tried in windows command prompt, and that is what it does, I have to get a floppy drive for my laptop and then I will try it, thanks

i think Mike is right. try ebay for a POS or a local flea market? (spelling)

Go download a Vesa dos driver and give that a try. Seriously it may work....some of the newer laptops have video cards that actually don't support dos. So if you download a vesa driver (which is the standard for dos) then it may work...something to atleast try

Where would I get this sjordan?

The same goes for large hard drives, USB, and a lot of the components found on modern computers.

Man its been a while since I have dealt with Vesa drivers...hell its been a while since I have booted in Window's or Dos.

What I would do is go to google.com and search for "download VESA drivers" or maybe "Vesa video drivers"


Worth a try. If not call haltech and bitch them out for not releasing the Halwin for E6K and demand they find a fix for you....if they can't tell them to send you a E11 for free

Hey suds, what kinda of Computer are you using? The compaq armada had that samething and I got a updated Version of the E6k software and it fixed the problem. Let me know if you still got the problem, I got that program that fixes that. Shoot me an email at javrosario@aol.com if you want it.

I had the same prolbem with my Sony Vaio laptop. I went and bought an older Compaq and it solved the prolbem.

You guys might want to see if you can get your hands on an old DOS boost disk and boost up from there. I am running Windows 98 on my Dell p75 and the E6K software works flawlessly.
