Hi,

I have byed last time a new computer with 64 processor, and tryed to run menuet on it. But it hangs up allways, by starting the first application.
So i searcht for the fault and i found it.
The position is in the file SYS32.INC in the function "add_app_parameters".
I have set sti as comment and copiled it new. Now menuet is running on
my system.

mov edi,[new_process_place]
shl edi,5
add edi,window_data
mov ebx,[new_process_place]
shl ebx,1
add ebx,0xc000
mov esi,[ebx]
and esi,65535
shl esi,1
add esi,0xc400
movzx eax,word [esi]

call windowactivate

; sti FAULT!!!!!! (ny system hangs up on this position)

push esi
mov esi,process_running
call sys_msg_board_str
pop esi

ret

process_terminating db 'K : Process - terminating',13,10,0
process_terminated db 'K : Process - done',13,10,0

terminate: ; terminate application

i think the problem is that menuet is made for 32bit. wait until ville releases Menuet for 64bit computers...

The amd64 -IS- 32bit until you tell it to switch to long mode.
(amd64 still starts up at 16bit too)
32bit oses should run on it 'out of the box'
So, if Menuet doesn't run on it, Menuet should be fixed, not the other way around.

Why even argue about it? He provided a fix for it, so put in in the next release and be happy.. Very Happy
