Rob, typically it means a protection fault or violation in the 386. It happens if an application does something like attempting to write into the code segment, modifies a segment selector, writes outside of a valid segment, and so on. I've never seen it in one of the applications provided with Windows, so its hard to imagine what could be causing them all in your case, unless you have a TSR loaded doing something bizarre in interrupts. -- Mojo mojo@netcom.UUCP Morris Jones Campbell, CA
