Hi Gert!

Ok you have three versions newer than mine. I am going to assume that:
1: you over wrote the isa.exe and the isa.ovr file on each upgrade and,
2: you ran the upgrade utility on each and
3: you ran isasetup on each upgrade.
4: you can play the game from a command prompt (ISA /L)

Ok, on my system, anytime I see an overlay error, it is generaly an ems
error. However, not allways. (Door game programers feel free to jump in
here) ISA has the ability to run without letting the overlay swap to
ems by creating a file named NOEMS. <note: no extension>
You do not have to use any parameters or anything just create the file
name in the isa directory.

Are you letting the isasetup create the nodes.ctl files? Does your
mailer see them and send the file to the other bbs's in your
group/league? What happens when you run isapack or isaunpack?

Gert, all of this is based off what my setup is/was. Again, you have
three versions newer than mine. These are just suggestions and you
should take care with them. I don't usually go backwards on versions.
They made upgrades for a reason. Speaking of they, is it still
"Minds Edge"?

One last thing, make SURE you have the correct *.exe and *.ovr file for
the version you are using.
