When i try to load certain programs,

I.E i was trying to install whdload and i double click the install icon and an error came up

Program Failed (Error #80000003)
Wait For Disk Activity To Finish
Suspend or Reboot

CAN SOME 1 TELL ME WHAT IM DOING WRONG. IVE CHECKED SOME POSTS AND IT SAYS I NEED TO DOWNLOAD A INSTALLER. IVE DONE THIS BUT CAN SUM 1 BE MORE SPECIFIC AND TELL ME WHERE DO I PUT THE PROGRAM AS IN WHAT DIRECTORY.

I KEEP GETTING THIS CRASH ERROR

PLEASE GUYS HELP. IM RUNNING A AMIGA 600 WITH 2MEG RAM AND WB 3.1

In the 'c' folder of your system partition (usually DH0).

The problem is you have installed a version of Installer from which requires 68020+.

Use an older version, eg the one on your WB Install disk. Oh, and don't yell at people if you're expecting them to help you.

how do i do that, do i search for it on the workbench disk

It's located at Install3.1:Installer.

Download http://aminet.net/util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha

And copy "Installer" to C

ok mate ill try that

i tryed that mate and i get the same error. i downloaded the program u sed and installed the 'installer' in the c: folder. tryed installing whdload again and got the same error

Make sure you've actually overwritten your previous "Installer" file in C.

Quite often people accidentally extract the lha to "C:Installer43_3/Installer"

What happens if you type "C:Version C:Installer" in shell?

Why don't you simply copy the files where they belong - mostly into C: - that's what I always did.

Yes. I have never used the installer script that comes with it. It's easy enough to copy all the files in WHDLoad's C drawer to your own.

:laughing

GurjSagoo: The method I'd suggest is to extract the lha to RAM: and copy the file Installer to C:

ok mat eill ive that a shot now

ive tryed every thing wat you lot have sed, and still im getting the same error.

Just a thought, but you have an A600 with Workbench 3.1 installed, do you have a 3.1 rom?

Just copy 'WHDLoad' (the file) from the archive to your system partitions's 'c' folder then.

You don't need 3.1 roms for workbench 3.1

I tried it (WB3.1) on my A600 with 37.300 (2.0) roms and some things didn't work like screen mode prefs.

You do need at least 3.0 for it to be fully functional.

yeah mate i have 3.1 rom installed

Cool that rules out any rom version issue then.

Have you tried to copy the files manually as suggested in the thread?

Only other thing I can suggest is something like Classic Workbench which already has WHDLoad installed and also has Zetr0's AGLoad (a nice simple WHDLoad launcher very useful for 2mb Amiga's)

http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/68k.htm (This 68k version is the best option for your machine)

Of course it means replacing the workbench you have but you might find that with CWB the installed tools will make life easier for you.

All the best.

Steve.

hello mate, ive downloaded the classic wb, but i need about 200mb to unzip, how do i get this to the amiga
