I just started running windows.  I have been setting up the applications
and most work fine.  However, when I run my communication sw 
(Hayes Smartcom) I get the message "Application has violated system
integrity due to faulty instruction, quit Windows and reboot computer"
(or something like that).

When I used program manager to start a .bat that includes Scom3 (the app)
it usually works fine.  Though sometime I get the same error.

I looked through the User Guide (the only manual I have) and couldn't find
anything on error messages.

Could someone help me.

Thanks to all who sent replies.  I called Information Modes and got
their brochure on LBL.  Is anyone using it in a situation where one of
the machines on the LBL network is also on a LocalTalk network?  Don
on the IModes techline said LBL is designed not to conflict with other
network drivers, but he wasn't familiar with LocalTalk.

Hello and greetings from Ames IA

I have a slight problem getting a shareware game to run as well using windows
as it does in DOS.  Note I am not trying to run a DOS app windowed. I am just
using the GUI to execute it.

System: Windows 3.1 Enhanced Mode 386DX-33

Application: Scorched Earth Ver 1.23, a slightly additive lob that artillery
game. Runs fine from DOS.  Ver 1.1 I had no problem with running from windows.

Symptoms: Slight visual display differences, ie slight screen flicker, graphics
are not as nice, game runs slower, and the game will take over for human
players (just continuous shooting).

Solutions I have tried: Running foreground exclusive, increasing the amount of
processor time to 10000 ie exclusive(i guess), locking XMS and EMS, retaining
video memory.  Just about everything you can do with a PIF that I know.

A solution I have found is to execute another DOS shell (command.com) then run
scorched earth and all is fine, but this is a round about solution when using
windows IMO.

Anyone have a solution to this problem?  If so, Please post it or Email to me.

Abrie,

Cntrl Insert) command and WFW forced the Paste Special instead of the 
simple Paste command.  Also, the problem was not the link but that it

I tried to send this, but it might be usefull to others so I decided to
post it. This is my first post. It was asked "How to get apps. group
windows back after reloading windows." I'm not an expert but I believe
the following should be of use to determine if the apps. in question
will have to be reloaded or not.  1) Since the apps. are still loaded
on the system you could just create new group windows i.e. "excell4"
and use new in the file menu to individually select each program. 2)
A better way is to use windows setup from the main group and select
setup applications search all or the drive(s) you installed the apps.
and set them up this way.  3) Possibly the group information may still
exist in the c:\windows or c:\windows\system dir's.  Look for ami.grp,
lotus.grp or maybe excell.grp.  If you renamed thew groups to suit
your tastes the group files may be listed as *(group name).grp. 4) You
can also find that your groups are still there but just not active on-
screen. Select windows menu and if there their click on it and the
group should become active. Select more if available to search complete
group list.  P.S.  In ref. to #3 above use new from file menu, select
group, select browse, then search above dir's for .grp files, select
file.grp, click ok, and window should be active.  Comments welcome.

I have deduced from the complete lack of mention in NB's documentation,

I upgraded for 2.0a to 2.0c for one reason...the Windows Write converter
could not deal with embeded objects in 2.0a and this was corrected in the
converter with 2.0c (it may have been corrected in 2.0b also). 

There are some other changes in the TOOLS-OPTIONS-VIEW and in the FILE-OPEN
dialog box but these changes may have been in 2.0b also.

Summary: Did they finally get it right?
Keywords: WPWIN 5.2, WordPerfect for Windows 5.2

I was just wondering what you netters think of WPWIN 5.2.
More specifically, I have these two questions:

(1) Is it still buggy?  Since I haven't heard much about this
    in the newsgroups, I'm assuming that it isn't.  I remember
    when WPWIN 5.1 came out and there was a lot of talk here
    about the various bugs.

(2)  Does it still make your 486 feel like a 286?  Did they speed
     up the program so that it now runs at a reasonable speed?

I'm a student right now and the official word processor here is WP 5.1
so please don't say something like "Dump WP!  WFW 2.0/AmiPro 3.0
is eons better!"  I do a lot of group projects so WP 5.1 compatibility
is my #1 concern.  Believe me, if the program was something other than
WP, I would have dumped it long ago.

Thanks for replying via email.

Maybe--are you sure you've got the "With Contents" box checked in your
Open File dialogue box?  If not, that's probably your problem.

If it is checked and your still getting a blank screen then you'll have to
reinstall it.  But try to get just the style sheet!  I'd suggest either
calling Lotus to find out how to decompress the files off the ditribution
diskettes or instaliing Ami in a new directory (with minimal features),
copying over the new style sheet to your old directory, and then deleting
the new stuff.  That way you save some time and don't loose all your setup
information.

You can avoid all these steps by simply using 'rz -a' on the unix side, which
then will automatically change the ms-dos lf's to unix lf's.

I just got WinQVT/Net version 3.16 going and it was a lot easier 
to get it off the ground than it was with version 3.03 which I 
received when I registered.  I still have a couple of annoying 
problems, however, and I wonder if anyone has a solution.  From 
my experience and from reading this newsgroup I doubt if I'll get
any help from QPC software.

Problem #1
	My script file for terminal login, which worked with versions 
2.8 and 3.03, works only partially.  It sends my username, but the password 
often does not get through through properly. I get no error messages from 
WinQVT/Net, but login fails.

Problem #2
	The fonts sent with version 3.03, which worked with versions 2.8 
and 3.03, seem to have no effect on the terminal screen, and I have these 
huge stretched out letters on my 1280 x 1024 display.  I copied different 
font files (vt1024.fon, vtvga.fon, vtsvga.fon, etc) to vt220.fon in the 
windows\system directory and it makes no difference.  It also doesn't 
matter if I delete windows\system\vt220.fon.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The one thing I hate about Windows is that you can never tell what a file
is.  Xtree for Windows has a nice set of viewers that will let you look
at a file to determine what it is.  It will even let you view files that
are inside a zip.
