 | 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 |

 | 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...
