i couldn't find any mention of this error from the documents i have at hand nor on the internet.. what's up with that? does anyone remember how to troubleshoot this 8 year fossil? 'cos i sure don't.. 
the copy is supposedly 100% legit too by the way, it's from some software compilation cd that came with some magazine..

nevermind, the brain finally kicked in.
my glorious 486 doesn't have a math processor. |

| There are FPU software emulators... if you can find them, they're PRETTY OLD by now... |

bleh - no luck with those either. tried three. 3dsr4 gave some arcane, cryptic error messages from beyond the grave.
i give up. |

| Does your mainboard have a socket for a math-co? If it does, you can add a hardware FPU, if you can find one. I had to do that with my 386 and 3DS r1. |
