I'm using the Tools from CA, and my problem was that. I already
decoded the __wait_b.obj, and it solve the problem. Thank you...
And can you answer me a question: I was trying to solve the problem,
changing the values from BIOS; and I had change the 'CPU internal
cache' value from Enabled to Disabled. When this cache is disabled,
the clipper programs runs, but the machine was turned to very slow.
(This is my parcial solve to the problem until today). Why is this?
Thanks!
   Saludos!
   Herchu.
