Run time error 200 under DOS 6.22

I get "Runtime error 200 at 2CD6:0091" when running a old DOS program on my new PentiumII booted up running DOS 6.22. Seems like computer is too fast for the program and needs to be slowed down.

Why don't you check the computer Time and Date. This has something to do with Y2K and DOS isn't Y2K compatible. If they're ahead of 1999, DOS will have trouble.

Hi,
Seem like some old DOS programs written on Turbo Pascal terminate with Run Time Error on the fast computers. To run such a program you can try to run some other DOS program at the backgroung (or several programs, or just several copies of the same program). After that the system distributes resources between all running programs and when you run your program it could work without an error.
Alternatively you can disable both L1 and L2 cache in CMOS to slower your computer. Without caches speed of computer would tremendously decrease and you hopefully would be able to run the old program.
Good luck, Igor M

that's a problem of turbopascal libraries, but there's a fix somewhere on the inet! :)
