- According to what Microsoft FAXed me on EMM386 Exception Errors:
- "The following is a list of Intel 80386 protected mode exception
- errors and their names:
-
- Code Meaning
- ---- -------
- 0 Divide error
- 1 Debugger interrupt
- 2 Nonmaskable interrupt
- 3 Breakpoint
- 4 Overflow interrupt
- 5 Array boundary violation
- 6 Invalid opcode
- 7 Coprocessor not available
- 8 Double fault
- 9 Coprocessor segment overrun
- 10 Invalid task state segment
- 11 Segment not present
- 12 Stack exception
- 13 General protection violation
- 14 Page fault
- 16 Coprocessor error"
-
- All of this was prefaced by the comment "This error should not occur
- on systems that are 100 percent IBM compatable. Because of the
- hardware-intensive nature of the EMM386 device driver, strict IBM
- hardware compatability is required."
-
- Hope this helps.
