had anybody an Idea whats going wrong, if i try to install
the C++ Builder 3.0 on a machine with more than 200 MH CPU

i cannot start the builder  
an a P/233 ASUS txp4 / AMD K6/233/266/300 with ATC Board )

i slowed down a 300 MH AMD to 200 MH but it doesnt run

any idea ??

It's most likely to be a problem with the video card. Lot's of people with
S3 cards (especially) have problems with this. See other posts in this group
on how to get around this. (or get the latest driver for your card/ latest
S3 driver)

the C++ Builder 3.0 on a machine with more than 200 MH CPU

I'm using BCB3 on a P333 and a P400. No problems.

Mine are Intel machines, however.

Is it now "Install" or "Run"?

I am running BCB 3 successfully on a PII 266 with too little RAM (64
MB)

Check your graphics card if you got BCB to install. Some cards are
pretty {*word*193} inhabitants of your system and apparently come with just
non-conformant drivers.

Search DejaNews for plenty of these discussions.

Further, if this is an installation problem,

  borland.public.install.cppbuilder

has *official* Inprise support.

Well,  I have Builder (ver 3.0 Professional) loaded on my home-built
P-233MMX system and it works beautifully.  Have you tried posting to the
borland.public.install.bcppbuilder newsgroup with exact errors you are
getting at instal time?  That group is monitored by Inprise employees,
as it is one of the few where you can get "official tech support" on
this server...

This does not come from the K6. I use Bcb3 since one
month with Win98 and a Amd K6-233 & 64mb ram.
The only new problem is that when I hit a breakpoint
while debugging, the de{*word*81} don't grab focus and
it just flashes the taskbar. I am sure that it is a Win98
problem.

Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided to change the meaning of

recorded at DejaNews that has fixes, curses and justifications (by MS,
haha) for that.

Yes, Microsoft is to blame.

Chances are you have a display driver problem, most probably you even
have the infamous S3 chip (or, it seems, an STB board as well).  There are
5 things you can try to fix this, in this order:

1) Add to the SYSTEM.INI file, in [display] section, the following line:
BusThrottle=1

2) Make sure you have the latest and greatest driver for you display board.
If you do have the much maligned S3 chip, you can also check out www.s3.com
for more drivers.

3) If you add the parameter -ns to the command line in your shortcut that
starts up BCB (for No Splashscreen), it probably will help.

4) You can turn down the hardware acceleration used.  Found in the Properties
of My Computer under the Performance tab.

5) Play the display mode, using different depths and/or screen sizes.

Ooh, I missed that thread :?)

Which newsgroup?  Any other known API 'implementations' we should be
aware of?
