Have you tried PROT200 instead of R200FIX? I don't know if they work exactly the same way or not, but it might be worth a try. I think there may even be a few other programs besides those two specifically designed to address the Runtime Error 200.

Also, the Runtime Error 200 is actually a speed problem (the CPU is too fast, which indirectly causes a divide overflow), so a CPU slowdown program (like my SLOWDOWN.COM) or possibly even FDAPM with a SPEEDn option might help.
