That error happens whenever randINT tries to work. Some programs like Age of Empires and GTA:3 aren't working because they need the randINT. Help please!

On the 86 you get that error when you get an answer that is way too big to display. I think it is over 1.0e1000

Just type Ans^2 and hit enter 15 times or so and you will get it. Not sue how this fits in with those games.

its only 1.01E100 on the 8x series. This might occur because the rand seed is set to something other than the factory default. Press [2nd] -> [+] -> [7] -> [2] -> [2] to reset all the defaults. Or you could try updating your operating system

Edit
Hmm, if you are using an 8x calc, then check your RAM. There may have been something called a memory leak if you were running ASM programs. If your RAM is incredibly low, then archive what you want and do a reset. Otherwise, an ASM just screwed with the function, so you'll have to do a reset. Fun.

On the 89 at least, the default rand seed is 0. I discovered this in statistics class when we were getting random numbers and I seeded my generator so that I could predict the numbers. But if you reset it, then I wouldnt be able to, so I guessed at a seed of 0 and was right. I think it was with my 89...

Anyways, that got me thinking and I pointed out to my teacher that if they all had the same seed as a factory default, then if you never used your randInt function before, everyone would be getting the same results, or very close, which would be a bad thing. Oh well...
