- I am trying to install Works For Windows 2.0 under Win 3.1 on a
- 386DX system with 4MB RAM, and AMI BIOS dated 8/30/90. As soon as
- it read the first floppy I got these errors:
-
- PROGMAN caused General Protection Fault in
- module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:73C3
-
- It does not seem to matter whether I install from within Windows
- or on the command line. I've seen WFW installed and ran fine on
- various flavors of system boards and configurations.
-
- What does this error mean and where can I find out more info
- about this error? Thanks for any insights.
