  • trouble with doors

    From alonzo@21:1/130 to All on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 13:03:25
    I have complained about this already in the Mystic
    message area, but I think I will it here. I can't run
    any door programs on my BBS without the door opening
    up on the HOST computer instead of the computer I
    call in on, which doesn't make sense to me. On the
    computer that is calling in, it just freezes up
    and does nothing. I have been told that this is
    because I am not using a fossil driver, but do you
    really need a fossil driver for EVERYTHING? I can't
    even connect to door games on other door servers.
    Any ideas? Help wold be greatly appreciated. I have
    no experience with fossil drivers.

    So..... you've been told to use a fossil driver, but you have not done
    it? Do you think maybe that might be worth a try, since multiple people
    have suggested you do it?

    oh, I see you using Windows 64-bit.are you using NTVDMX64? I would strongly suggest using a 32-bit VM with netfoss.
