- I am not sure whether this is the right newsgroup for this kind of
- questions so please send me answer by e-mail if the forum isn't correct.
-
- Since installing Qemm 6.02 to my system with Windows 3.1 I have been
- constantly confronted with the following message : "The xxx caused a general
- protection fault... Please close application."
-
- I have installed Qemm according to Windows readme files, according to the
- software manuals and the QemmWin problem solver database. Nothing has
- helped.
-
- My Qemm parametres are: RAM ROM X=B000-B7FF
-
- and I am running win3.1 in 386 mode with no funny device drivers (except
- smartdrive :-) no tsr programs. I have activated the shadow ram option
- from my AMI BIOS setting and I have 256K cache (external, hardware) active.
-
- If any of you could help me out on this, I would really appreciate it as
- my Windows environment has turned out to be totally useless (even though
- my DOS now runs better than ever).
-
-
- The other oddity I have been unable to solve is the mystery of corrupted
- .grp files. Sometimes when starting windows, it reports that: "The xxx.grp
- has bee damaged. Please recreate it." or something similar.
-
- Once again I have tried disabling write cache (smartdrive active as cache),
- turning off 32-bit disk operations, checking my HD for defects etc to no
- avail. I must stress that these problems are not due to power failures or
- switching off computer at ill times. The problem occurs quite randomly, but
- often enough to be annoying. No viruses are present in the system. This
- problem was also manifesting itself before the installation of Qemm.
-
-
- Any help would be appreciated
