Hi NAD,
Regarding your first problem I think others have already solved the
problem. I would like to share some of my findings about your second
problem: Genral Protection Fault (GPF).
This is a fairly common problem with all versions of Windows. Though you
would get the message that the program has performed some illegal
operation and Windows is closing down or a straight GPF message at
certain memory address. One reapeated occurrence, you are asked to
contact the program vendor.
However, the problem lies more with any other software than the software
in question. In Windows memory allocation system certain hierarchies are
there for different types of programs. When a program normally meant for
lower hierarchy memory address tries to access or have already accessed
a higher level memory address the problem occurs.
There is no cure for this problem as of now. As of now, all you can do
is to have larger RAM available and load less of memory resident
programs. Increase RAM so far as practicable. Second, have atleast four
times of free hard disk space in which Windows creates its swap file.
I was facing this problem with MetaStock 6.5 while using that on a
Compaq Presario 2200 with 44MB RAM and 160 MB free space on the disk.
This problem becomes severe when you are using other big programs like
MS EXCEL and/or MS WORD along with MetaStock 6.5 and you switch among
them quite often.
If you require more technical details, I can provide that to the extent
I can. If my suggestion helps it would be very nice.
Thanks
