- Hi,
- This is not directly related to WP, but I thought having working with
- Windows some of you might have encountered the following problem:
- When I try to run a Windows application using Windows 3.1 in standard mode
- (I don't know if it has anything to do with the mode), I sometimes get
- application error messages. For example, when I try to enter the file
- manager, I get, more often than not, the message:
- |---------------------------------------------|
- | Application Error |
- | |
- |Winfile caused a General Protection Fault in |
- |module USER.EXE at 0008:08D9 |
- | |
- | |-----| |
- | |close| |
- | |-----| |
- |---------------------------------------------|
-
- Another example is when I run "After Dark" (a screen saver). It gives the
- same message, this time for module COMM.DRV at 0002:03EB. However, in this
- case it waits 10-15 seconds after running the program before it halts.
- Most of the time I just click on the "close" box and continue working
- (giving up the program I wanted to run); sometimes it just locks the whole
- system.
- Any suggestions?
- I'd appreciate replies to my address: <KPUAV at HUJIVM1.BITNET>.
- Thanks!
