View Full Version : 16 bit script error

December 11th 03, 09:34 PM
Hi,
I am trying to run a childrens game that was written for
win98\me on an XP Pro machine but when I run the EXE it
shows the games start screen and then gives me the
following: Script error: Handler not defined. This comes
up a few times if I click continue and then eventually
quits. I have tried running it in compatability mode for
98\me but no difference. I can find no reference to it on
MS site. Please help as my children really want it to
work.
Thanks,
Jim.

Thanks for your suggestions but none of them seem to fix
my problem. I still get the script handler error relating
to #INI. I have tried every variation in the
compatibility wizard but to no avail. Thanks for trying
to help.
Regards,
Jim.
